A SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE
Founded in 2016 by classical pianist Hunter Noack, IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild™ is the outdoor concert series where America’s most stunning landscapes replace the traditional concert hall. A 1912 Steinway Model D concert grand piano travels on a flatbed trailer to awe-inspiring natural landscapes across the West, from national parks to urban oases. Guests are encouraged to wander and explore the surrounding environment while listening to the music through wireless headphones, creating an immersive experience that fosters a connection with the music, nature, and with one another.
Now in its 10th season, the project has presented 305 concerts featuring 95 guest artists for 80,000 people, many of whom experienced live classical music for the first time. Inspired by Hunter’s passions, the organization’s mission is to create experiences that connect audiences to classical music and to the great outdoors, and has inspired several artists and organizations to bring their own music experiences into nature.
Wander the grounds of Jack London State Historic Park with a classical music soundtrack. Come early to enjoy the park; bring a picnic, your favorite beverages and lawn chairs or blankets to sit on (seating is not provided).
In the spirit of the Works Progress Administration’s (WPA) Federal Music and Theatre Projects, which presented thousands of free concerts and plays in theaters, public spaces, and parks across the country during the Great Depression, IN A LANDSCAPE events are also offered in rural communities for free or on a subsidized basis. Over $100,000 in free tickets are given away each year. For more, visit inalandscape.org.
