Badlands at TreePeople (photo by Adam Corey Thomas)
Lace up your hiking shoes and meet us atop David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive. Every month we gather with the phenomenal civic stewards of TreePeople to love on live music and hot tea at the edge of a mountain, followed by a nighttime hike guided by your local neighborhood eco educators.
Soundtracking the sunset this eve is one of our favorite local woodwind enthusiasts, Nicolas Maldonado. We’ve fallen in love with Nico’s gentle, patient voice through his outdoor videos sharing saxophone loops & improvisations in nature. There’s a warmth, compassion, and curiosity that drips forth from every note and we’re incredibly excited to witness this communion between music and environment. It’s been a long time coming!
Check-in starts at 6:30pm, music shortly after 7pm, and we split into our hiking groups promptly at 8pm. Because of limited parking early registration is required & three different hikes are held so that all ages and experience levels are welcome.
See you on the mountain!
when tickets have reached capacity on our end, check with treepeople to see if there’s still availability
Nicolas Maldonado is a saxophonist, composer, and improviser exploring the intersection of acoustic and electronic sound. Performing on tenor and soprano saxophone, he integrates live electronics to shape spontaneous compositions within an evolving sonic landscape. His work seeks to blur the lines between structured form and open improvisation, creating immersive textures that fuse jazz, experimental music, and electronic manipulation.
