200 people (not including repeat attendees) attend three concerts featuring 43 performers. Audience surveys will show broader age and other demographic in attendance compared to past seasons, and ongoing enthusiastic, enhanced receptivity to a wide variety of chamber music offerings. We will measure outcomes by ticket purchases and attendance count for each concert. End of season evaluation surveys will measure audience demographics and feedback to the concert experiences.
This 10th season had our highest attendance of all time, with audiences averaging over 100 per concert (over our estimate of 80). We attracted more people by offering a wide variety of programming that drew people in for one program, and encouraged them to experience the rest of the series. This series builds community. Audience rated these "Great and affordable concerts" and "Wonderful programs."
