Smithsonian Folkways Recording recently published a CD of field recordings that islander, music and dance ethnographer Martin Koenig collected in Macedonia between 1968 and 1973. The CD release parties are planned from coast-to-coast, with one slated for 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Land Trust Building.

Koenig, who is also a photographer and community organizer, will host the party, give a slide presentation and tell the story about the long-deferred project. Macedonian delicacies, such as spinach pies, feta cheese, olives and wine will be served.
