Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Exultate proposes to perform at a high artistic level the Mozart Requiem with 30 additional musicians to audiences which number 25% more than last year's attendance at our Festival Concerts.We will measure artistic quality through audience and participant surveys. We will measure concert attendance and compare that to last year's Festival concert attendance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The performance of Mozart's Requiem was artistically successful in that the additional 17 musicians from the community were high-quality and the number of rehearsals with the entire ensemble was more than adequate to prepare. We were very pleased with the increase in audience for this event - 633 in attendance, compared to 418 at our last season's large work performance of Bach's Saint John Passion.
