Funds raised support MSAE’s programming and mission for 2027 — soundwalks, educational events, and grantmaking that contribute to the worldwide study of acoustic ecology.
An afternoon of deep listening, three composers whose work shaped the field, and a room full of people who care about how places sound. Come out to support listening across environments and cultures in the Midwest.
