Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This proposal will improve access to quality arts experiences because concerts are performed locally, providing opportunities for all ages.Program notes and post-concert receptions allow guests and musicians to network and discuss the performances, strengthening relationships and building community.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We tracked attendance, musician participation, and competition results. We got feedback from audience, soloists, musicians and the conductor. Results were as expected, but attendance was lower than desired.
