Sounds of Akron

Last summer, hundreds of Northeast Ohioans recorded sounds from their life and submitted them to ASO via the Sounds of Akron cell phone app. Those sounds were folded into a brand new music composition by local composer Clint Needham. Come hear a musical representation of our city, our home.

And come early to experience EJ Thomas filled with representatives from the fantastic organizations, places, and events that make Akron unique!
