IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild

IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild™

AT SHORE ACRES STATE PARK - September 4 & 5

Doors open at 4:30pm, Concert begins at 5:00pm

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. In a Landscape brings a 9-foot Steinway grand piano on a flatbed trailer to National & State 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, music is transmitted to concert-goers via wireless headphones. No longer confined to seats, concert goers can explore the landscape, wander through the Shore Acres garden, lie in sunny meadows, and roam along the rugged cliffs.

IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild™ concerts are brought to you in partnership with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and Sponsors Wild Rivers Coast Alliance , Travel Southern Oregon Coast , and Oregon’s Adventure Coast: Coos Bay, North Bend, Charleston . This year’s recipient of the donations will be Friends of Shore Acres!

ABOUT THIS LANDSCAPE

Perched on craggy sandstone cliffs high above the ocean, Shore Acres State Park celebrates two sorts of beauty: ruggedly organic and masterfully constructed.

Once the grand estate of timber baron Louis J. Simpson, Shore Acres features a formal garden inspired by the original, with plants and flowers from all over the world. Visitors find a Japanese-style garden with a lily pond and two carefully curated rose gardens that include All-American Rose Selections.

Get here early to explore trails beyond the garden that lead to a secluded ocean cove at Simpson Beach.
