Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Choral Arts Ensemble of Rochester will be a resource to the community through collaboration across disciplines, accessible performances, and aiding efforts of other organizations. Evaluations will be comprised of attendance figures, increased requests for performances and collaborations, and successful (as defined by the presenter) events in which we are partners.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were a community resource through a concert with a theater company; an accessible mini-tour and usual outreach concerts; three choir director workshops These activities were evaluated primarily through attendance figures and direct feedback from participants (presenters and audience) via discussion, emails/notes and social media.
