In a Landscape: Classical Music in the Wild

For the fourth year, classical pianist and naturalist Hunter Noack will bring In a Landscape: Classical Music in the Wild to Jack London State Historic Park. On May 23 and 24, 2025, the groundbreaking concert series will transform how audiences experience classical music by removing it from the confines of traditional concert halls and placing it in the great outdoors. Vineyards, redwood forests, and sunny meadows will replace the traditional concert hall as audiences listen through state-of-the-art wireless headphones, wandering freely with the music as a soundtrack to their experience.

The concerts at Jack London State Historic Park will be performed at 5 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. in the winery ruins. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the park, bring a picnic and favorite beverages, plus lawn chairs or blankets to sit on (seating is not provided). During the concert, the headsets will carry the music throughout the meadow, the historic winery ruins, and around the Londons’ cottage and barns.
