Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

300 audience members will attend the 15th Anniversary Celebration of Friends concerts. At least 80% of the singers will indicated that the repertoire, including a premiere of a new work, was artistically challenging and rewarding. Financial results will be compared to planned budget for income and expenses. Evaluation methods will include a post-concert member (singer) survey regarding artistic challenge and reward. We will also collect informal feedback from audience members after each performance. Financial results will be compared to budget projections, and if needed, changes to planning processes for future projects will be recommended.

Measurable Outcome(s)

180 audience members attended the concert which premiered a new choral work by local composer Elizabeth Alexander. The process narrative woven through the concert by the artistic director resulted in more engagement by the audience, based on audience member comments after the concert. The collaboration with our musical "friends" was appreciated by the choir, the guest artists and the audience.
