Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Bloomington Symphony will evaluate the success of our grant using the following outcomes: 450 tickets will be sold for the February and April concerts. Our end-of-season musician survey will indicates at least 85% of musicians feel that musical growth occurred over the past five years. We will evaluate our ticket sales goals by using box office sales reports, and musician feedback by an online survey conducted at the end of the season.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We sold 504 tickets (combined) to the concerts, which exceeded our goal of selling 450 tickets. Based on an online survey of musicians, 86% of respondents said they agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, “Over the past five seasons (Maestro Laureano's tenure with the BSO), the BSO has grown artistically.” Audience members enjoyed hearing young soloists and pieces with narration.
