The 50 adults and 4 youth that attended thoroughly enjoyed the concert with calls for an encore at the end of the two-hour concert. Staff could tell from facial expressions, clapping, whistles, participation by the audience and comments made to other patrons and to staff that this was a successful event and the crowd was enjoying the music and the storytelling very much. Guests were invited to complete surveys and those who chose to consistently rated the concert 5 out of % for artistic excellence.
