According to Hildegard Westerkamp:
“A Sound Walk is…
a listening exercise that helps us become aware of our immediate acoustic environment.
It is also about the aesthetic pleasures of listening.
Listening to sounds we might otherwise have missed;
listening to the rhythm of sounds;
listening for the unique ‘voice’ of a city.
It’s about enjoying the sensual beauty and sheer surprise”
Upcoming Soundwalks:
April 13, 2026 CMU (meet at Laudamus Auditorium) 6:45pm
Every season GroundSwell adds a few pre-concert soundwalks led by Dr. Suzu Enns.
Join us on April 13th, at 6:45pm for a soundwalk before Echoes and Tracings. We will gather at the doors of the Laudamus Auditorium for a brief introduction to soundwalking and walk a short route before arriving back at the hall for the concert.
