Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Two concerts will focus primarily to item 4 above and somewhat to item 2. In March we will focus on music geared to families with young children. This will include music of two local composers. In April the focus will be on music for young adults. Data collection is obvious for us: audience size and concert revenue. But more artistically valid are responses received from audience members, both verbally and via electronic media. Future concerts will help evaluate the retention of new audiences.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The ensemble was able to expand the age range of the audience by offering two very different types of concerts from what I Cantanti Chamber Choirs have done in the past.
