Two evenings. Two seasons. One living landscape.
Woodland Nights is a two-concert Wild Notes series inviting families to experience Kleb Woods through music, seasonal change, and the night sky.
In October, the cello will bring a touch of playful mystery to the woods as darkness falls. In December, its warm voice will reflect the stillness and resilience of the winter season.
Each 30-minute concert will be presented during an evening that also includes after-dark and night-sky programming at Kleb Woods. Together, these experiences invite visitors to look upward, listen closely, and notice how a familiar place changes with the hour and the season.

Why Woodland Nights Matters
Listening changes what we notice.
A landscape can feel different after we have truly listened to it.
Wild Notes creates place-responsive music programs that encourage people to slow down and become more attentive to the world around them. At Woodland Nights, the cello offers families a doorway into that deeper attention: to the fading light, the night sky, the character of the season, and the life continuing throughout the woods.
When people form a meaningful relationship with a place, caring for it begins to feel personal.
