Return to a full, seven-concert season and expand educational programming and collaborative opportunities to reach new and diverse audiences and continue to enrich our community. Financial reports, direct income and expenses, focus groups and surveys, and number of people served.
1. Three fund development initiatives were developed and launched May/June 2012. Corporate relations and major gifts are anticipated to provide $72,000 in additional revenue in FY 2013. The planned giving program and new endowment fund received a $15,000 unrestricted gift pledged along with a bequest. 2. Six concerts were performed with the first outdoor community concert and 1,400 people attending. Demographics obtained through count and observation reflect that the audience is 50% families and ages forty-five or younger. Over 100 individuals provided positive feedback. Playing with the Pros, a new collaborative education program with Southeast Minnesota Suzuki Association, served approximately 300 and produced 100% positive feedback. The free outdoor summer music served 350 attendees, primarily young professionals in the age range of 30s to 50s. Surveys by attendees and musicians indicate high success, with 100% requests to increase program frequency to weekly.
