Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

It is expected that, because of the funded director position, Rochester Male Chorus will become aware of more performance opportunities, be able to reach a wider variety of audiences, and play an even more active role in the community. Rochester Male Chorus uses data collection at its main concerts. Also useful are stories and responses collected from concert attendees. More recently, in working with aging populations, observed behavior change is also important.

Measurable Outcome(s)

To have the support necessary from the funded position so that the chorus members (volunteer) are freed up to provide quality music experiences for the community.
