Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

With a Spanish translator assisting in the concert, 90% of the participating Aurora Charter School students will say that their experience creating music with and listening to an orchestral performance was artistically satisfying. 200 people will attend the May 9th concert targeting a sophisticated audience, drawn by the unusual literature and the local soloists performing with orchestral accompaniment. Civic will solicit feedback from the staff and students of Aurora School on their experience singing Cielto Lindo with the Civic Orchestra. Members of the Civic Orchestra will also be asked for their response to the artistic goals of the concert. A count will be taken of the number of audience members attending the May 9th concert at the Wayzata Community Church.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Civic barely missed our goal of having 200 people attend the Wayzata Community Church concert on May 9th, with 197 people attending. Civic hadn't held a Saturday evening concert for many years, so we felt that this was a success for this busy time of year. Aurora music teacher Luana Mitchell surveyed her Aurora music students who all said that it was a great experience (artistically satisfying).
