Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The specific goals of Heartland Symphony Orchestra’s Spring Concert Series, “Heartland Symphony Orchestra Goes to the Movies,” are to directly benefit audience members, orchestra players, and local communities with an outstanding classical music experience that not only reminds them of the famous music that makes iconic movies unforgettable, but most importantly provides a context and relevancy of classical music in our present day.Heartland Symphony Orchestra will evaluate the concert series by audience attendance and their reaction to the chosen repertoire. Heartland Symphony Orchestra also videotapes performances for rebroadcasting and evaluation purposes. Heartland Symphony Orchestra plans to offer a Facebook drawing for a free ticket to the next concert for those who offer feedback and share it on Heartland Symphony Orchestra’s Facebook page.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successfully provided a high quality orchestral experience for community who indicated an overall positive experience. However, audience numbers decreased over previous performances.
