EMSO hopes to increase attendance at concerts by fifteen to 20% this season, and to expand its member/donor/mailing list base. EMSO also hopes to expand its connections with senior living communities through concerts and ensemble performances presented at these sites; and by working to coordinate efforts between area senior facilities around publicity and transportation to facilitate attendance for seniors at EMSO's four concerts this season. Audience numbers will be tracked by ticket sales and by count at each concert; and member/donor/mailing list numbers will be tracked by new musician participation, donation lists, mailing list interest at concerts and through the EMSO website. Audience demographics will be tracked by audience surveys, ticket types sold, by counts at concerts, and by information from senior living facilities as to interest, ticket sales at their sites and residents transported to concerts.
This season EMSO sought to increase its string section numbers and its concert attendance numbers. String section members increased from 16 in the 2016-17 season to 22 in the 2017-18 season. Attendance at concerts this season increased by 17% over the 2016-17 season. EMSO's reach extended beyond the East Metro to a Minneapolis venue this season, expanding our audience and visibility.
