Classical Music In The WildTM
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 9-foot Steinway grand piano travels on a flatbed trailer to State and National Parks, urban green spaces, working ranches, and historical sites for classical music concerts that connect people with each landscape.
Concert Hall Quality
To meet the acoustical challenges of performing in the wild, music is transmitted via wireless headphones. Explore the landscape, wander through secret glens, lie in sunny meadows, and roam old growth forests with the music as a soundtrack to your outdoor experience.

Founded in 2016 by classical pianist Hunter Noack, IN A LANDSCAPE has presented 355 concerts in Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, California, New York, and Canada to over 95,000 people.

The Sound Of Music
Our nonprofit concert series is named for the piece “In a Landscape” by John Cage. Cage, like other post-war avant garde composers, challenged listeners to reconsider what “music” is and asked us to consider all sound — and its absence — as music. “What surprises me every concert,” says Noack, “are the moments of serendipity … when the leaves blow or the birds dance perfectly in time with the music, as if choreographed by a divine hand. In these moments of magic, I feel such gratitude for classical music and the parks and wild lands in which we play.”
