Monday, March 3 (NEW YORK, NY) - Today, classical pianist and naturalist Hunter Noack announced the 10th season of IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild™, the groundbreaking concert series that transforms how audiences experience classical music by removing it from the confines of traditional concert halls and placing it in the great outdoors. Noack is set to travel across the American West with a 1912 Steinway grand piano for 50 concerts this year. Mountain tops, old growth forests, and sunny meadows will again replace the traditional concert hall as audiences listen through wireless headphones, wandering afield with the music as a soundtrack to their experience. 

The landmark 10th season will bring IN A LANDSCAPE to a variety of breathtaking settings, including Sea Ranch, CA, San Francisco Botanical GardenOrcas IslandWABlack Butte Ranch in Sisters, OR, Woodbury Preserve in Jackson, WY, Warm Springs Preserve in Ketchum, Idaho, Bellosguardo in Santa Barbara, CA, and Silver Falls State Park in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The new season will also feature nighttime concerts in dark-sky preserves. 

The 2025 tour will officially begin on May 10 at Maryhill Museum in Goldendale, WA and conclude on September 21 in Portland, OR at Lewis & Clark College. Please find full tour routing below. General ticket on-sale will begin on Friday, March 7. For more information and tickets, please visit: https://www.inalandscape.org/

Founded by Noack in 2016 with a mission to remove barriers to live classical music and foster a deeper connection to the natural world, IN A LANDSCAPE has presented over 300 concerts featuring 110 guest artists to 75,000 attendees, many of whom had never attended a classical music event before. By partnering with national and state parks, land trusts, conservancies, historical societies, Native American reservations, and schools, the series brings music to rural communities where such opportunities are often scarce. In alignment with its nonprofit mission to make concerts accessible to all, IN A LANDSCAPE subsidizes ticket pricing at 95% of its concerts and distributes over $100,000 in free tickets annually through its Good Neighbor Program.

Beyond its innovative approach to classical music, IN A LANDSCAPE creates space for immersive storytelling by frequently featuring poets, Native Americanmusicians, dancers, singers, and visual artists as guest performers. The concerts are designed to inspire a sense of quiet contemplation and free-spirited play, encouraging audience members to fully engage with the music and the landscape around them. 

IN A LANDSCAPE cultivates a profound feeling of togetherness across ranchers and hikers to city dwellers, families, and classical music aficionados, proving that music and nature have the power to unite people across all walks of life. The series has won multiple awards and has been featured on CBS Mornings, in the Los Angeles Times, and as part of TEDxPortland.

Named after John Cage’s composition In a Landscape, Noack’s series embraces the avant-garde composer’s ethos of redefining how we listen to and experience 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 those moments of magic, I feel such gratitude for classical music and the parks and wild lands in which we play.”
