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

The 55-acre San Francisco Botanical Garden opened to the public as part of the Gardens of Golden Gate Park (GGGP) in 1940 with support from the WPA. It is home to more than 8,000 plant species from around the world. From rare magnolias and cloud forest plants to towering redwoods familiar to the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples—the original stewards of the San Francisco Peninsula—the garden offers the perfect landscape for wonder and reflection.

This summer brings renewed energy to the garden, with refreshed pathways, evolving plant collections, and ongoing sustainability initiatives. Concert partner Trust for Public Land advances its mission to connect everyone to the outdoors by creating and protecting public spaces, ensuring places like the Botanical Garden remain vibrant and accessible for generations.

Thank you to Trust for Public Land and San Francisco Botanical Garden for sponsoring this event.
