Paula Dreyer Takes Outdoor Concerts to New Heights in Central Oregon
BEND, OR — Paula Dreyer, a Bend-based musician, is redefining the concert experience with her innovative outdoor performances across central Oregon. Ditching traditional concert halls, Dreyer has graced unique venues such as the candlelit slopes of Mount Bachelor and the picturesque Smith Rock State Park. This month, she will return to a mesmerizing lava cave at the Juniper Preserve resort outside Redmond.
Dreyer emphasizes the importance of merging music with nature. “I love combining anything with the natural elements,” she stated, showcasing her eagerness to create memorable experiences. Her concerts utilize wireless headphones, allowing audiences to roam the natural surroundings while enjoying her music. This concept draws inspiration from Portland’s Hunter Noack and his "In a Landscape" series, although Dreyer’s approach remains uniquely different.
Performing on a portable Nord keyboard, Dreyer invites listeners to engage in various activities during her concerts—whether it’s skiing, kayaking, or exploring a cave. The upcoming cave concert will be illuminated to enhance exploration, and attendees are encouraged to bring flashlights for a deeper dive into the natural cavern.
This event will mark her second performance at the Juniper Preserve cave, following a successful winter season of candlelit concerts at local ski areas. Dreyer’s creativity doesn’t stop there; she has a growing list of dream venues, including an Alpaca Piano Picnic this June and performances at Maragas Winery and a Lavender farm in August.
Her music resonates with audiences on a profound level. “Almost every event someone has come up to me with tears in their eyes,” Dreyer noted, highlighting the emotional connection her outdoor concerts foster.
For those seeking an immersive musical experience intertwined with nature, Paula Dreyer’s outdoor concerts promise a unique and unforgettable journey.
