IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild
IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild will make a highly anticipated return to the Wood River Valley this summer. Founded 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. A 9-foot Steinway grand piano travels 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. To meet the acoustical challenges of performing in the wild, sound is transmitted to concertgoers via wireless headphones. Unconfined by seats and walls, audiences explore the landscape in this approachable and deeply moving classical music experience. The performance will take place alongside the Big Wood River just south of River Run parking lot, where concert goers will have a full, immersive nature and classical music experience meandering along the river or sitting on the banks watching nature unfold. $45 member / $55 nonmember / student $20 (18 & under)
