IN A LANDSCAPE: Golden Gardens Park

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.

Golden Gardens Park offers extraordinary views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains from its sandy shores. The park was developed in 1907 by Harry W. Treat as an attraction at the end of the new Ballard Beach streetcar line built by realtors to encourage townfolk to take a "Sunday outing" through the woods to a picnic or swim at the beach. Originally inhabited by the Duwamish, Suquamish, Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla people, this 87-acre park is beloved for its forest trails, fishing points, and beautifully restored coastline.
