Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
48 composers present their work, and approximately 420 total audience members hear that work and participate in discussion. Composers receive feedback that is (1) useful and (2) motivating, and experience an increased sense of purpose and satisfaction in their musical lives. Our most important assessment tool is post-concert interviews between composers New Ruckus staff, face to face whenever possible. We will also keep a participant count.
