We would like to see our audiences grow. We also like that the number of our regular patrons and contributors continues to grow, that is a measure of our success. Converting first time patrons to regular patrons, enthusiastic applause. Also around town I hear lots of positive feedback.
A total of 287 people attended these four performances. 21 musicians performed in January, and 10 in April. Many audience members engaged with musicians after each performance, asking questions and expressing their enjoyment of the concerts, and several also texted and e-mailed their comments.
