Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The chorus will perform 35-40 concerts in the metro area to audiences who no not typically have access to live performances. These performances will be free or reduced cost. They will continue to recruit new member aged 55 and older to the group, maintaining a high quality chorus of 45-50 men and women. The project will be evaluated by documenting the number of performances given and the number of performances given for the specifically targeted audiences. At least one concert per year will include a written audience survey. Members will be surveyed for their feedback and the quarterly meetings will include an evaluation component. Further evaluation will include determining whether the chorus has continued to add new music, to stretch their artistic skills, and to tailor new music to specific audiences.
