Break out your cross country skis and snowshoes and grab your mittens: WMPAC is headed outside. Staged in the heart of Big Sky’s cross country ski trail system on the Big Sky Resort golf course’s driving range, patrons will ski or snowshoe into a labyrinthine track custom-designed for this event. In the center of the track, award-winning concert pianist Hunter Noack performs on a 9’ Steinway grand piano as he presents IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild^TM. Each guest of the performance will be given a custom set of high-quality wireless headphones that broadcasts the hour-long live performance as they explore Big Sky’s stunning landscape by ski, snowshoe, or foot. As Noack said, “the music becomes a soundtrack to your experience in the landscape.”

Classical Music in the Wild was founded by pianist Hunter Noack. Called “audacious” by CBS This Morning, Noack’s mission to bring classical music into the wilderness has been featured in the L.A. Times, PBS, and TED. Since 2016, IN A LANDSCAPE has presented 83 concerts in 72 locations in Oregon, Washington, California, and now Montana. inalandscape.org
