ACHF Arts Access
Increase student access to music education.We are forecasting an increase of 12.5% in our program enrollment during our 2013-14 season and an increase of 5% in scholarship awards. We will evaluate this outcome by tracking the total number of students participating in our programs and by tracking the number of students applying for and receiving scholarships. 2: Increase audience access to orchestra concerts. We will evaluate this outcome by tracking the number of attendees at all of our concerts as well as the diversity of venues and populations served. We will also track the number of free and discounted tickets provided at each concert.
During Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies' 2013-14 season, it served 800 students which is a 17% increase over last year, and scholarship awards increased by 29% with $31,435 awarded to 86 students.
