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.

About Fort Rock Concert
Towering above the sagebrush desert sits Fort Rock State Natural Area, a caldera created by volcanic eruptions under what was once an inland sea. Waves lapped against the rock creating caves in which anthropologist Luther Cressman discovered a collection of ten-thousand-year-old sandals in 1938. Such artifacts likely belonged to the ancestors of several local, indigenous nations including the Yahooskin, and Confederated Tribes of Umatilla. The piano will be situated in the caldera, a dusty trek up an uneven and rocky trail from the parking area.

Come early for a visit to the Fort Rock Valley Historical Homestead Museum (ticket included with your purchase), a collection of original homestead era buildings including a church, school, houses, cabins, and several other structures in a village setting.

NOTE: Fort Rock is a remote community, 38 miles SE of LaPine, Oregon. Parking at this site is extremely limited. Carpool if at all possible. Many guests will need to park along the entry road with up to 1/2 mile walk from your car to the parking lot, so please plan ahead. There will be a drop-off area in the parking lot for guests, chairs, and picnics. The walk from the parking lot up to the concert site is 1/4-mile hike up a steep rocky path. There will be a limited shuttle available for those with mobility issues. The concert site is amongst sagebrush on uneven terrain with no shade available.

About Summer Lake Hot Springs Concert 
Listen, soak, and stargaze at Summer Lake Hot Springs in the world's largest International Dark Sky Sanctuary, during this night-time concert that turns the Oregon Outback into a theater for the stars. Guests can find the constellation of Lyra overhead, representing the Greek tale of Orpheus whose music was so great that even inanimate objects such as rocks could be charmed. Before even the times of Ptolemy, this region was an agreed upon place of peace between the Yahooskin, Nüümü (Northern Paiute), Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla tribes who originally inhabited the land.  While you’re there, be sure to check out our friends and previous concert host at PLAYA Summer Lake, the arts and science residency program tucked behind the juniper fence on your way to the hot springs.
