Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, children, students, adults, and senior citizens of East Grand Forks will have increased access to live symphonic music in their community and will be motivated to attend and support future performances. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with planners, counting actual audience members, and artist and audience questionnaires to be completed at the event itself (asking about past and planned future attendance as well as overall impressions).
