Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Provide a cost effective workshop. 1. Compare concert ticket sales to past concerts. 2. Record audience numbers at all events. Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestra volunteers will observe (ask, if possible), note, and report on audiences’ response. Organizers from partner organizations will be asked for feedback.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestra increased audience size at this Fall Concert (91% increase from 2015) and Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestra reached at least 500 youth in contexts new to Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestra – school visits, performances such as at the Mayo Children’s Hospital, Rochester Symphony Orchestra’s free youth ticket offer, etc.
