Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We intend for a majority of orchestra members to find the spring concert program rewarding and challenging. We also intend for a majority of audience members to indicate that they learned from the program, would attend another concert, and found the program suitable and enriching for children. A survey will be included in the Spring Concert program to solicit feedback from audience members, including what they learned, whether or not they would attend another concert, what they liked, what they did not like and whether or not they felt that the program was valuable for children. A survey of the orchestra will be conducted to determine whether or not the musicians found the program rewarding, challenging, and enriching.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Together the concerts reached a total audience of 850 individuals. In addition, the Light Classics Concert was recorded and broadcast by public access community television CTV Northern Suburbs public access community cable television. The musical skills of the forty members of the orchestra increased as a result of performing with a world-class soloist and tacking more challenging music.
