Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our proposed outcomes are: 220 adults and youths will participate in our preparations and performances of 3 programs. 1,450 audience members will attend and benefit. The participants will have their abilities to express themselves in song enhanced through preparation for and performance of our selected programs, and audience members will have their appreciation for classical choral music enhanced through our performance, program notes and comments by our conductor.We will evaluate the number of performers and audience members benefitting from our programs through audience/participant counts. We will gather feedback from the enhanced experience for participants and audience members though our Survey Monkey surveys sent to participants, and our solicitations of feedback from audience members through our website, Facebook, and email requests, and comments submitted verbally to our members and artistic director.

Measurable Outcome(s)

A total of 1,215 people attended the three concerts. Attendance was lower than expected at the "King David and Chichester Psalms" concert on May 16th at Roseville Lutheran Church. This was a new venue for Oratorio Society of Minnesota and in the future we may consider a different location to attract more members of our St Paul community.
