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. Listen through wireless headphones and wander afield with the music as a soundtrack to your experience in the wild.
Our concert at Mill Pond Recreation Site commemorates the anniversary of the 2020 Archie Creek Fire, which swept over 125,000 acres of forests in Douglas County, destroying 154 homes. On the site of an old logging mill pond along Rock Creek, the grassy field is surrounded by a scorched forest. Get an up-close look at the relationship between fires and forest health in the heart of Oregon’s logging country, the ancestral land of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians.
Thanks to our sponsors, this concert is a benefit for two local nonprofit organizations. Forest Bridges represents voices across the spectrum of forest interests — conservation and environmentalism, forest industry, recreation and wildlife. Family Development Center is a private, non-profit agency offering support and education services to families experiencing high stress.
