Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to have a successful concert as measured by technical performance of the works, and providing a positive experience for both the musicians, guest artist and the audience. We also hope that this performance will be a "sell out" at the Chanhassen, which would mean sales in excess of 500 tickets. Artistic success will be measured by successful performance of the works, both technically and musically. Surveys and testimonials will help to evaluate whether the program successfully connected the music, the musicians, and guest artists with the audience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Given this show marked JazzMN's twenty year anniversary, ticket sales were expected to be robust, and we were not disappointed. 502 tickets were sold for this performance, which met our goal. During a reception, patrons expressed a high degree of satisfaction with this concert and with JazzMN's legacy overall. Surveys indicate patrons want to see more JazzMN concerts in the future!
