Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our aim is to enhance local performance opportunities for trained adult amateur musicians and to enable local audiences, often in rural settings, to experience symphonic music. We aim to increase contact with retirement centers and school children as we promote our concerts and identify venues.Outreach measured by audience survey, attendance figures; meeting musician needs measured by player feedback/response to carpooling, rehearsal clustering, other innovations; wider-audience effort measured by evaluating response to performing newer venues/communities this season.

Measurable Outcome(s)

New audiences in new communities with successful concerts in New Prague and Kenyon. Met player needs by adjusting rehearsal schedule and better communication. Increased audiences by more contact via postcards and Facebook.
