The musical quality of the concert series has already been secured by virtue of the artistry of the participating ensembles. Therefore, we will focus on Concert Attendance as a measurable outcome, with an overall goal of having at least 200 people attend the series in total. We will keep a journal of statistics about each of the concerts. In it, the actual on-site count of the number of participating musicians and audience members will be recorded, so we can total these figures at the conclusion of the series.
The concert series was the host of nine different world premiere performances of original jazz compositions spread across several different weeks and ensembles. Of over two hundred participating musicians and audience members involved in the series, the vibe was noticeably more engaging during world premieres, resulting in sometimes frenzied purchases of group's merchandise that was available.
