46% attended for FREE and for 28% of the audience, the IN A LANDSCAPE concert was their first experience with live classical music. Local ranchers, loggers, and farmers gather with visiting city dwellers and tourists from beyond. Guest artists have included poets, visual artists, dancers, and musicians playing everything from banjos to pianos.

Since 2016, IN A LANDSCAPE has presented 145 concerts in Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, New York, and California. For more information and upcoming performances, visit. 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 Depression, IN A LANDSCAPE events are offered primarily in rural communities for free or on a subsidized basis. No longer confined to seats, you can explore the landscape, wander through secret glens, lie in sunny meadows, and roam old growth forests. To meet the acoustical challenges of performing in the wild, music is transmitted to concert-goers via wireless headphones. We bring a 9-foot Steinway grand piano on a flatbed trailer to National Parks, urban greenspaces, working ranches, farms, and historical sites for classical music concerts that connect people with each landscape. A soundtrack to your outdoor experience Founded in 2016 by classical pianist Hunter Noack, IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild is an outdoor concert series where America’s most stunning landscapes replace the traditional concert hall.
