Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Patrons will get to hear music and socialize with other community members. Patrons will learn about black history, and Chinese and Mexican culture.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Patrons enjoyed a variety of music at these events. Gorgeous harmonies, beautiful music, wonderful personalities, and a warm, enthusiastic reception from the crowds. Lila Ammons and her accompanist were outstanding! She spoke a lot about her personal history and the history of jazz music between songs. The sound was great and those who attended had nothing but glowing reviews. Gao Hong was very personable, and quite funny! She did a good job of involving audience members in the performance. Everyone enjoyed her presentation, and several people came up to me afterwards and said they would never have found her music on their own, but are glad they attended.
