Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We distributed evaluations to patrons following each concert. We hoped that patrons would increase their understanding and appreciation of jazz music. We hoped they would enjoy the concerts, and maybe learn something about the musicians, or the style of music presented.

Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of respondents said that after this concert they increased their understanding and appreciation of jazz music. 70% said that they enjoyed this program because it helped them to increase knowledge or better understand a topic. 75% agreed that this program exposed them to a new genre of music, and 100% said that they would attend a similar program in the future. Public comments included, 'good for us to be exposed to a 'new style'', and 'very enjoyable, amazing guitarists.'
