Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A new Ambassador Program will help expand the awareness of Heartland Symphony Orchestra by providing mini-concerts by a small chamber group of the orchestra in underserved locations. A head count will be taken of participants at the Conductor Chats and an audience survey will be provided. Participants at the mini-concert will be asked to provide oral or written evaluations of the program. The number of participants will be recorded.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successfully provided a high quality orchestral experience for community. 90% of Audience indicated a good or excellent concert performance. Audience participation remained approximately the same from previous years.
