Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We aim to have over 700 concert attendees combined at our two performances. We also aim to retain 50% of the audience who came to our October concert.We will conduct an audience survey at our Eat, Drink and Be Married Concert. We will also solicit feedback from our chorus members and other artists who will take part in the concert.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Audience survey showed that ~40% of audience members were attending their first One Voice event. 98% of audience surveys gave top ratings for satisfaction with the artistic aspects of the performance.
