IN A LANDSCAPE: Fort Rock State Natural Area

Description

IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild™ is an outdoor concert series where America’s most stunning landscapes replace the traditional concert hall. Guests explore the surrounding environment while listening to the music through wireless headphones, creating an immersive experience that fosters a connection with the music, nature, and with one another. Explore the full 2024 series at this link.

This late afternoon concert will take place at Fort Rock State Natural Area in Fort Rock, Oregon. Towering above the sagebrush desert, the Fort Rock caldera was once a volcano that erupted under an inland sea. Waves lapping against the rock created caves that housed a shoe ‘factory’ where anthropologist Luther Cressman discovered an ancient collection of ten-thousand year old sandals in 1938. The piano will be situated in the open area on the eastern side of the bowl, slightly below the site of our past concerts. Concert check-in opens at 3:00 pm, and the performance begins at 4:00 pm.

Come early for a visit to the Fort Rock Valley Historical Homestead Museum (ticket included with your purchase), a collection of original homestead era buildings including a church, school, houses, homestead cabins, and several other structures in a village setting.

After the concert, follow Hunter down to the Fort Rock Grange for our 2nd annual Pie Social and “Barn” Dance featuring live country & folk music by Wampus Cat! Pie & ice cream will be available for a $5 suggested donation, with all profits going to benefit the Fort Rock Grange and their community activities.

This event is supported by funds from the Oregon Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.
