About this location

This evening concert will take place at Valley Flora Farm in Langlois, Oregon. An organic farm and “mother-and-two-daughter collective” nestled on the banks of Floras Creek, Valley Flora Farm grows hundreds of varieties of vegetables, berries, and fruit with the help of draft horses, a handful of fantastic employees, one little tractor, and 12 kilowatts of solar power. The piano will be situated in the middle of the farm, north of the horse corral. Concert check-in opens at 4:00 pm, and the performance begins at 5:00 pm. Please arrive early enough to park and walk to the site.

Thanks to the sponsorship of Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation and Travel Southern Oregon Coast, a portion of ticket sales will benefit the Wild Rivers Land Trust, a non-profit organization working to protect watersheds, open space, and working ranches, farms, and forests for future generations.

This event takes place on the ancestral and occupied homeland of The Confederated Tribes of Siletz including the Tututni peoples.
