IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild

For the 10th 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. Steeped in literary history, Jack London State Historic Park evokes a sense of adventure and inspiration. This 1,565-acre park was once the home and ranch of Jack London and his second wife, Charmian Kittredge London. Charmian was Jack’s life and literary companion, authoring many accounts of adventures they navigated together. The park is a unique blend of stunning landscapes and historic buildings, managed by Jack London Park Partners. The group is the first non-profit organization to take up management of a state park on behalf of the people of California, having saved it from closure in 2012 due to state budgetary cuts. Plan to spend time here before the concert, touring the ruins of Jack & Charmian's home that burned before they moved in, the cottage they lived in for many years, and Charmian's later home that is now a museum of their lives and travels. With panoramic views of the oak-studded hills, the park reflects London’s love for the land, a sentiment he shared with its forebearers — the Pomo, Coast Miwok, and Wappo peoples.
