Wild Notes is a conservation-driven concert series that brings classical music into state and national parks to reconnect people with the natural world.
Through site-specific, unplugged performances, we invite listeners to experience music as part of the living landscape—to hear the wind, the water, and the quiet presence of the creatures who call these wild places home.
By weaving art into nature, we foster reverence, emotional connection, and environmental action—reminding us all that protecting the Earth means protecting the ecosystems, species, and sacred spaces that sustain us.
In 2019, Mandy performed a solo recital in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The audience hiked to reach her, and as the music merged with nature's sounds, something magical happened. That experience showed her how powerful these intimate encounters could be- where music doesn't just exist in nature, but becomes part of it.
Your donation can help us continue to provide concerts throughout America's State and National Parks. Your contribution helps us achieve our mission to create a world where music and nature are one.

Wild Notes is a concert series that brings classical music into natural spaces to inspire awe, connection, and action. We believe that protecting the Earth means listening deeply to the land and the wildlife that call it home.
We perform unplugged, site-specific concerts in state and national parks, pairing classical music with natural acoustics, ecological themes, and a sense of reverent adventure.
Wild Notes intends to register as a 501(c)3 Non-Profit by the end of 2026.
Wild Notes operates from Houston, TX, with concerts taking place in Texas State and National Parks and Forests. Our goal is to expand to host concerts in locations all across America's beautiful landscapes.
Concerts are located along hiking trails and camp sites in our nation's beautiful parks and forests, open to planned audiences as well as passing hikers. Anyone and everyone is welcome!
Wild Notes concerts are free to attend, with donations gladly accepted. Your donations help to fund our concerts and to bring classical music experiences to unexpected places, while promoting environmental stewardship.
We kindly ask that Wild Notes audiences follow all rules and regulations posted by the hosting park or forest, and follow a leave-no-trace philosophy; do not leave trash at the concert site or disrupt the nature around you.
Wild Notes is committed to responsible stewardship of public lands. Our performances cause no disruption to wildlife, leave no trace on the environment, and encourage deeper appreciation of America's national treasures.
Wild Notes was founded by cellist Mandy Guilfoyle in Houston, TX in 2025.
