It is our goal to bring students and established musicians together in a collaborative, mentoring environment where all, including the audience, can experience a joyous and moving musical event. We expect no less than 20 students and an audience of over 350 people to be involved in this concert.For this end of the year concert, the orchestra and board members are instructed to mingle during the reception and after the concert to take informal verbal surveys of audience members as well as guest performers. The reports are then passed to board member Donna Hill, who also collects any post-concert emailed responses, and presents them at the following board meeting for a full discussion.
The audience numbered around 300 and was diverse in age and economic backgrounds because of free admission and the concert being on a Sunday afternoon; Board Members interviewed several people to find that there was quite an age span, from 4 to 94! The goal to include more than 20 young players was not achieved, as only 8 students were able to join; a long, standing ovation was also observed.
