Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology Holiday Potluck with Jesse Budel

As we approach the shortest day of the year join us for a gathering of warmth and camaraderie at the home of MSAE President Eric Leonardson and his partner Deirdre Harrison. Bring a bottle or a dish if you are able, your appetite, voices, and ears either way. As in pre-COVID gatherings with Annea Lockwood and Hildegard Westerkamp, we are delighted to host a guest artist. RSVP here.

Jesse Budel, on a yearlong sabbatical from Australia, will lead a chat about his work and current priorities for the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, for which he has served as Secretary for several years. Jesse comes directly from a special engagement at the Atlantic Center for the Arts, home of the ACA Sound Station and the 2023 WFAE 30th Anniversary Conference which he co-produced with Leonardson and Harrison. A survey that emerged from that event will be another topic addressed. Your voices are encouraged so take a look before you come! https://www.wfae.net/global-survey.html
