Encore expects to reach an audience of approximately 600 people. We expect at least 120 of the audience to be under 18 and 80 to be 19-23. Encore expects 30% of the audience to be hearing an adult amateur band perform for the first time. The Encore board of directors will meet quarterly to discuss the success of the project. Encore has a concert host who estimates crowd size for each concert.
Encore prepared 12 pieces of music and performed 4 concerts that were supported by MRAC. Two of these were MusicConnect concerts shared with young high school and college musicians. Two of the pieces performed were new works supported by Encore through a commission and its Charles B. Olson Young Composer Contest.
