PLAYA, 47531 Highway 31, Summer Lake, OR 97640
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.
Saturday afternoon’s concert takes place at PLAYA, an arts and science residency situated at the edge of Summer Lake in Oregon’s high desert. The site occupies a 75-acre campus that hosts art/sci residencies, place-based workshops, and public programs, with ponds, wetlands, grass fields, and walking paths extending onto the lakebed at the northwestern edge of the Great Basin on the ancestral homeland of the Yahooskin Paiute and Klamath peoples.
