Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We want to reach our goal of selling 175 tickets to a single concert at least once in the upcoming year, up from a record of 154 set last season. We also want to meet or exceed the budget for contributed income for the upcoming season as we look into planning our 50th season. We are going to evaluate these outcomes by tallying records from online and box office sales, counting ticket stubs, and counting audience members during concerts. We will monitor earned revenue at bi-monthly board meetings and measure our goal at the conclusion of our fiscal year on June 30th.

Measurable Outcome(s)

45 parts were played by top professional musicians from our area in diverse ensembles of 2 to 9. Nearly 500 people heard music by 12 composers from a lesser-known part of Europe, more than 300 at Sundin Music Hall. The organization forges ahead with TMO50 in mind, despite a number of hurdles and unexpected changes among dear friends.
