Tiivistelmä
The commissioner of this thesis was the International Worship Choir Finland (IWC) – a non-denominational choir registered in Finland under the ID number 223.111. The nature and style of the choir is international and dynamic. The IWC has a vision of promoting hope and unity among the congregarations and individuals in Finland through music.
The objective of this thesis was to provide a theoretical framework of managing a cultural event. Based on which an event was organized and evaluated for further development of the commissioner. The aim of this event was to to carry out the commissioner’s vision. This international concert was organized on the twenty-forth of November 2018 in Pietasaari with the attendance of around one hundred and thirty people.
The main elements of the theoretical framework were the matrix of best practices in event management, in which two elements were discussed. Firstly, the five managing processes: researching, de-signing, planning, co-ordination and evaluation. Then, the four pillar approach to event management of Goldblatt: time, finance, technology and human resources. A risk management plan was also suggested. Based on this theory framework, a project plan was given, which was followed by an evalua-tion on the pros and cons of the event.
The methods used in this thesis were secondary research, observation, reflection and comparison. As a member of the IWC, the author was presence and actively involved in every stages of the event. Thus, the evaluation was honest and realiatic.
The aim of this thesis was accomplished. A clear evaluation was presented that showed the author’s comparison on the differences between theoretical event management and reality. Most set goals were accomplished. The commissioner also took improvable elements to consideration. Overall, a realistic and modest view on event management, more applied knowledge and experiences on cultural event management was given.
