Pianist Hunter Noack brings back his “In A Landscape: Classical Music in the Wild” performances to Silver Falls State Park on July 5 and 6. In its eighth season, the outdoor concert series allows America’s most stunning landscapes to replace the traditional concert hall. 

A nine-foot Steinway grand piano travels on a flatbed trailer to National Parks, urban greenspaces, working ranches, farms, and historical sites for classical concerts that connect people with each landscape. 

To meet the acoustical challenges of performing in the wild, music is transmitted to concert-goers via wireless headphones. No longer confined to seats, audiences are able to explore the landscape. 

“In A Landscape” has presented over 200 concerts in Oregon, Washington, Montana, New York, Idaho, California, Utah, and Wyoming to over 35,000 people. Tickets, $40, are available at
www.inalandscape.org.

Summer comedy: Local playwright offers a peek behind the curtain

Summer Lightning, written and directed by Silverton resident Michael Smith, comes to the Brush Creek Playhouse stage for three weekends beginning June 11.

Described as a backstage comedy, the two-hour play portrays actors preparing to go on stage as they apply makeup and put on costumes. They’re doing a Greek tragedy, Phaedra, the story of a woman who is cursed by the gods to fall in love with her stepson. The play is presented within the play, similar to the well-known comedy Noises Off.
