ABOUT
Pianist Hunter Noack was All Classical Portland’s inaugural Artist in Residence in 2019. In June 2022, Heinz records released his debut album, “In a Landscape,” which in its first week went to the top of Billboard’s classical music charts to make number one in Traditional Classical Music.
Hunter grew up exploring, hunting, fishing, and kayaking the rivers of Oregon, forming a strong connection to nature. He started piano at age 4 and by the fifth grade he was up at 4am to light a fire and practice piano before taking the bus to school. After intensive training at Interlochen Arts Academy, San Francisco Conservatory, University of Southern California (B.M.), and Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London (M.A.), Hunter returned to Oregon and founded IN A LANDSCAPE, which Thomas Lauderdale of Pink Martini praises as, “The most exciting classical music project in America. Hunter is making classical piano music relevant again.”
