The TEDx Music Project is an initiative independently organized by TEDx organizers around the globe, not created by TED.

From Nobel Peace Prize winners to Nicaraguan sweatshop workers, WBEZ’s Worldview highlights a range of voices that go beyond the headlines. The show delves deep into the people and forces shaping the world and our communities, exploring issues and events through in-depth series and public events. Jerome McDonnell hosts WBEZ’s long-running global affairs program locally in Chicago on 91.5 FM and globally on SoundCloud.  

The Herbal Remedie create music that encourages a profound respect for fellow human beings and care for the well-being of our shared planet and it's ecosystems. Over a soundscape of melodious finger picking, violin magic, flutistry and trance inducing accordion drones, the stylized vocals seem nothing but natural.

The International Music Foundation is dedicated to presenting free high-quality classical music performances and music education experiences in the Chicago metropolitan area for people of all ages and degrees of musical awareness so they can experience how music enriches life.

Leonardson is a composer, radio artist, sound designer, instrument inventor, improviser, visual artist, and teacher, who has devoted a majority of his professional career to unorthodox approaches to sound and its instrumentation, with a broad understanding of texture, atmosphere and micro-tones. As a practicing artist and educator he has an interest in the elusive lines that separate art media and disciplines; the promise of technology to enable new possibilities in art, discovering connections between physical action, sensory perception, and ideas.

Leonardson performs regularly on the Springboard, an electroacoustic percussion instrument made from readily available materials. Applying his percussion skills and a piezo pickup to coil springs, wood, plastic combs, and rubber bands he creates rich tones and timbres that, in the words of Nicolas Collins, “evoke the sound world of a Balinese Gamelan orchestra.” Others compare these sounds to industrial vibrations and animal voices.
