ACHF Arts Access
The organization will expand the number of young people directly affected by the choir’s programs, with goal of a 10% increase in the number of people auditioning for the choir and a 25% increase in the number of participants in our outreach programs. Participation records for our three primary outreach programs (Sing in the Summer, Boys on Broadway, and KidSing) are compared quantitatively year to year. 2: The organization will present artistic offerings of the highest caliber to residents of our community. Successful presentation of quality artistic programming would be observed through strong audience numbers, and official recognition from the community or other professionals/organizations.
Participation in outreach programs increased by 26.7% during the 2013-2014 season Artistic offerings were successful in both audience engagement and artistic quality. Audience figures for our regular concert series remained strong, and verbal and written comments from patrons, as well as external reviews by an artistic advisor, confirmed a high artistic quality.
