Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We endeavor to increase interest in chamber music while providing exquisite concerts accessible to all. We use the finest musicians, concerts are free, and our venue is handicapped accessible with excellent acoustics. Our artists offer their insight into the music to audience members. A survey given out to audience members at the April concert; Recordings made for each of the concerts; Concert analysis by the board; Feedback from the artists themselves; Informal discussions with audience members; Data collection regarding attendance, donations, and expenses.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We chose exceptional musicians to play in a venue with excellent acoustics and which allowed the performers and their listeners to be close to each other. The artists offered information about the music during the performances and also during intermissions and after the concerts.
