San Francisco always comes alive in the spring, with numerous blooming flower gardens and exciting outdoor events throughout the city. One of our favorite spring events in SF is IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild, an outdoor concert with classical music in the San Francisco Botanical Garden. The concert series is in its 11th season, touring regularly, stopping at scenic outdoor locations throughout the West Coast.
The concert will feature a talented pianist performing in one of the garden’s beautiful meadows, surrounded by trees. Attendees are given wireless headphones so they can listen to the concert while wandering through SF’s expansive Botanical Garden, though you can also relax, watch the pianist play, and enjoy the outdoors. IN A LANDSCAPE was started in 2016 by classical pianist Hunter Noack, reimagine a classic concert hall by performing in nature. Noack brings a 1912 grand piano to parks and gardens throughout the western USA, and the series has garnered 75,000 viewers.
