Enjoy More Soundwalks in Chicago Parks This Summer!

The Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology (MSAE) is excited to announce the 2026 Summer Soundwalks in the Parks, marking the 10th annual partnership with the Night Out In The Parks and Chicago Parks District.

Featured teaching artists: Jeff Kolar, Lia Kohl, Eric Leonardson and Negin Almassi, Deirdre Harrison and Kate Manzzini, Mauricio López F., and Sara Zalek and Norman Long.
