Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Increase our audience to 1,400 between the two concerts (18% increase from 2014); expose 100 children and youth (18 and younger) to a live symphony performance. Generate $17,000 of income (15% increase from 2014) through underwriters and concert free-will donations. Audience figures will be collected and evaluated by headcount at each performance, including an estimate of those under the age of 18 in attendance. Financial outcomes for underwriting will be tracked on an ongoing basis and free-will donations will be counted immediately following performances.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Successful chamber music festival with an estimated 27% increase in participation over previous year.
