Pack your picnics – we’re heading to Sunset Bench!

What do the Bitterroot Valley, a 9-foot Steinway grand piano, and a community that cares about conservation have in common?

The Bitter Root Land Trust is delighted to bring In a Landscape: Classical Music in the Wild to the Bitterroot for a one-time, “Concert in the Wild” special benefit concert for BRLT on Saturday, July 27, 2024!

The piano concert will be held at the beautiful Sunset Bench Conservation Easement in Stevensville – 200 acres of agricultural land, wildlife habitat, and open space conserved by local landowners in partnership with BRLT in 2019.

Listen to the sounds of classical music by talented musician Hunter Noack while you wander the land to explore open hay fields, a timber forest, and a secret sagebrush meadow.

After the concert, you will have the opportunity to gather with friends – old and new – to learn more about BRLT projects, browse the silent auction items, listen to live music, dance, and celebrate conservation until sundown!

100% of the event proceeds will be donated to BRLT and our mission to conserve the water, wildlife, and working lands of the Bitterroot Valley.
