There are plenty of\u00a0iconic venues\u00a0to hear live music<\/a> in Los Angeles, but a canyon underneath the Hollywood Sign<\/a> isn\u2019t usually one of them.<\/p>\n

That changes on Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27, when classical pianist Hunter Noack brings his acclaimed IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild\u00a0series to Griffith Park<\/a> for the first time. The performances will take place in Bronson Canyon, near the famous Bronson Caves, with a 1912 Steinway Model D set against one of the city\u2019s most iconic backdrops.<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED: If you\u2019re visiting L.A., this is the one thing you absolutely have to do<\/a><\/p>\n

The concerts mark the Los Angeles debut of\u00a0the touring series that Noack founded in 2016 to move classical music beyond concert halls and into extraordinary outdoor settings. Instead of\u00a0staying seated in cramped quarters, audience members wear wireless headphones and\u00a0stroll through the landscape\u00a0with the music, creating a soundtrack that\u2019s as much about the setting as it is the performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo two concerts are ever the same,\u201d Noack said in a statement. \u201cAt a place like Griffith Park, the music is shaped by the light, the weather, the trees, and the movement of people through the landscape. It becomes a shared experience of listening\u2014not only to the piano, but to the place itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fitting location for the series: Griffith Park is one of the largest urban parks<\/a> in the United States, encompassing more than 4,200 acres and drawing upwards of 10 million visitors\u00a0a year. The performances are presented in partnership with Trust for Public Land, the conservation nonprofit that helped permanently protect the land surrounding the Hollywood Sign, ensuring the hillsides remain open to the public rather than private development.<\/p>\n

The Griffith Park dates are among 50 performances Noack is giving across the American West and Canada this year. His Steinway has already traveled to botanical gardens, mountain resorts, vineyards, forests and even Oregon\u2019s Dark Sky Sanctuary. After Los Angeles, the tour wraps up in Portland on October 4.<\/p>\n

Since launching a decade ago, IN A LANDSCAPE\u00a0has attracted nearly 100,000 attendees, many of whom\u00a0never before\u00a0attended a classical concert. The nonprofit series also keeps ticket prices accessible through subsidized admission and a Good Neighbor Program that distributes more than $100,000 in free tickets each year.<\/p>\n

For Angelenos, the biggest draw may be the setting. Griffith Park has hosted countless hikes, movie shoots and outdoor performances over the years, but hearing a century-old Steinway while\u00a0meandering\u00a0near the Hollywood Sign promises to be a\u00a0singular\u00a0L.A. experience.<\/p>\n
