Classical pianist Hunter Noack transports a 1912 Steinway concert grand piano to unique outdoor settings, aiming to bring classical music to rural areas. His In A Landscape project was inspired by John Muir's preservationist ethos, focusing on connecting nature with music. The initiative works to eliminate the typical barriers that limit classical music to concert halls, taking the performances to locations like lakes, mountaintops, and meadows. In the summer, Noack is celebrating the 10th anniversary of this project with various performances across the West, including sites in California, Oregon, and Idaho.
Hunter Noack has embarked on an unusual journey, transporting a thousand-pound 1912 Steinway concert grand piano to unlikely outdoor locations for his In A Landscape project.
Inspired by the preservationist John Muir, Noack aims to bring classical music closer to nature and make it accessible to rural areas not typically served.
The project seeks to remove barriers that confine classical music to traditional venues like Carnegie Hall, bringing it to places such as lakes, mountaintops, and meadows.
Noack's 10th-anniversary tour of In A Landscape includes performances at Jack London State Historic Park, Black Butte Ranch, and Warm Springs Preserve.
