About this concert
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.
There are few places along America’s Pacific Coast like Shore Acres State Park with its manicured gardens and magnificent Holiday Lights show in what was once the estate of the civic-minded lumber baron and artist, Louis J. Simpson (1877-1949). What makes this Oregon State Park so unusual is the vast grassy parkland tucked against the crashing waves, the perfect setting for a 9-foot Steinway to hang at the edge of the western world.
Thank you to our concert sponsors, Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation, and to our long-time partners, Travel Southern Oregon Coast, and Oregon’s Adventure Coast for making these concerts possible.
Please note: There is a $5.00 per day parking fee at Shore Acres State Park. Cash only, credit and debit cards not accepted.
This event takes place on the ancestral and occupied territory of the Mulik Coos, Coos, The Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw peoples.
This is 1 of 2 IN A LANDSCAPE concerts at Shore Acres State Park.

IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild Biography
Founded in 2016 by classical pianist Hunter Noack, IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit 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 State and 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, music is transmitted to concert-goers via wireless headphones. No longer confined to seats, audiences explore the landscape, wander through secret glens, lie in sunny meadows, and roam old growth forests.
In the spirit of the Works Progress Administration’s (WPA) Federal Music and Theatre Projects, which presented thousands of free concerts and plays in theaters, public spaces and parks across the country during the Depression, IN A LANDSCAPE events are offered primarily in rural communities for free or on a subsidized basis. For upcoming performances, click here.
Since 2016, IN A LANDSCAPE has presented 275 concerts in Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, New York, Utah, Wyoming, and California to over 55,000 people. Guest artists have included poets, visual artists, dancers, and musicians playing everything from banjos to pianos. Folks travel from near and far. Local ranchers, loggers, and farmers gather with visiting city dwellers and tourists from beyond.
