For the 11th season, IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild tours the American West. Mountain tops, old-growth forests, and sunny meadows replace the traditional concert hall in the series featuring pianist Hunter Noack on a 9-foot Steinway concert grand piano. Listen through wireless headphones and wander afield with the music as a soundtrack to your experience in the wild.

About this Landscape
Mount Pisgah Arboretum sits on 209 acres of trails and trees along the Willamette River, just outside Eugene. Planned in the late 1960s as a place to showcase trees from around the world, the site was chosen for its rich mix of habitats representative of the Willamette Valley, from oak savanna to wetlands and riparian forest.

The IN A LANDSCAPE concert takes place in the oak savanna. Arrive early to explore the network of intersecting trails that wind through wildflower meadows, wetlands, and leaf-strewn paths across the preserve.

A nonprofit organization with more than 50 years of history, Mount Pisgah Arboretum continues its mission of education and stewardship on land that was once the traditional homeland of the Kalapuya people.

About this Landscape

Mildred Kanipe Memorial Park lies seven miles northwest of Oakland, Oregon, spanning nearly 1,100 acres of rolling rangeland once owned by lifelong rancher Mildred Kanipe and her family. The park includes more than 14 miles of trails and campsites equipped with horse corrals, reflecting its continued connection to ranching, recreation, and equestrian use.

After inheriting and expanding her family ranch, Kanipe left the property to Douglas County in 1983 with the condition that it be preserved as a public park. Her legacy continues in the protection of the land’s wildlife, including her well-known peacocks, and in the preservation of historic features such as the Kanipe Farmstead, a National Register–listed schoolhouse, and the park’s century farm designation. The land is part of the ancestral homeland of the Kalapuya people.

The IN A LANDSCAPE Concert will take place alongside the creek, approximately a quarter to a half-mile walk north of the equestrian parking area and campground. A limited number of ADA parking spots will be available near the Baimbridge-Kanipe historic farmstead day-use area.

This concert benefits Umpqua Symphony Association, in memory of Lauren Young.

Rushadicus the Infamous Cello Goblín is a post-medieval metal jester of otherdimensional glee who prefers precarious perches to dazzle and delight. With mystical language of Sneth and textural noise-based birdstudied kazoo, it causes a romping nonsense catharsis party of weird wiggly wizardry: a "bejickment" for the brave, the curious, and the wild of mynde...

About this Landscape

Once the grand estate of timber baron Louis J. Simpson, Shore Acres State Park combines carefully tended gardens with a raw coastal landscape. Formal plantings include a tranquil Japanese garden with lily ponds and two rose gardens featuring American Rose Selections, with something in bloom nearly every day of the year. Just beyond the gardens, trails lead to a secluded ocean cove at Simpson Beach and along dramatic cliff edges, where sweeping views reveal rugged seascapes, crashing waves, and migrating whales from December through June.

This concert is presented with the support of the Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation, in partnership with Travel Southern Oregon Coast and Oregon’s Adventure Coast.

This event takes place on the ancestral and occupied homeland of the Mulik Coos, Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw peoples.

About this Landscape

Valley Flora Farm is an organic farm along the banks of Floras Creek in Langlois, Oregon, operated as a mother-and-two-daughter collective. Founded in 1998, the farm grows hundreds of varieties of vegetables, berries, and fruit using ecological farming practices rooted in crop diversity, composting, cover crops, and rotation. Work on the land is carried out by a small crew using draft horses, one tractor, and on-site solar power. Valley Flora Farm is closely connected to its coastal community, supplying food year-round through its farmstand, local food banks, and a network of stores, restaurants, and cooperatives along the southern Oregon coast.

This event takes place on the ancestral and occupied homeland of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz, including the Tututni peoples.
