Up to 50 people will attend the five hour choral workshop on Saturday 10/24/15. The free concert of choral music on Sunday 10/25/15 will feature up to five choirs comprised of approximately 100 choristers. We expect up to 400 audience members at the concert. The outcomes will be evaluated by Audience surveys, Workshop participant surveys, Post-performance feedback, and an Audience/participant count.

Out of the 350+ concert attendees 4% were from out of state, 65% attended the Festival for the first time and 98% said they would attend again. Out of the 51 workshop attendees, 96% were familiar with Byzantine rite music, 38% attended the workshop for the first time, and 100% would attend again.
