About The DC Listening Lounge + Sound Scene

Sound Scene began in 2008 and is organized by the DC Listening Lounge audio arts collective in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Sound Scene is an annual, free, two-day event, open to the public. In 2024, Sound Scene broke attendance records for the Hirshhorn museum attracting more than 19,000 attendees over 2 days. Sound Scene celebrates sound through multi-sensory art installations including sculptural, headphone-based and multi-channel interactive exhibits. Our live stage features performances of dance, music, and spoken word. Sound Scene’s small group workshops invite audiences to explore acoustics, beat-making, sound production, sonic meditation, group improvisation, and more. Sound Scene features the creative work of artists from across the world.
