For the 11th 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.

About this Landscape

Established in 1921 and expanded in 2023, Drake Park stretches along the banks of the Deschutes River in the heart of Bend. Named for city founder Alexander M. Drake, the park includes nearly half a mile of riverfront bordering Mirror Pond, with open lawns and mature ponderosa pines framing the water.

The IN A LANDSCAPE concert takes place on the park’s broad lawn beside the river, where listeners gather near the piano or wander across the walking bridge or along the river paths on this ancestral homeland of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.

This concert is sponsored by Sue & Mike Hollern
