About this Event
“Music for 10 Musicians” is a sonic poem of rich sonorities and subtle orchestrations perfectly suited for the acoustics and ambience of The Church House. It is structured around 11 composed themes bridged by 10 interstitial movements, each featuring an improvised solo followed by a trio improvisation. The dynamic range is almost entirely between pianissimo and mezzo piano, with few exceptions.
The composition will have its West Coast premiere at The Church House in Bellingham WA on November 1, followed by the Earshot Jazz Festival on November 2, 2025.
Doors at 6:30 pm; music starts around 7 pm.

Wayne Horvitz is an acclaimed American composer, pianist, and producer known for his genre-defying work across jazz, experimental rock, and classical music. A key figure in New York’s 1980s Downtown scene and longtime Seattle resident, Horvitz has collaborated with icons like John Zorn (Naked City), Bill Frisell, and Gus Van Sant, and led groundbreaking ensembles including Zony Mash and Sweeter Than the Day.
His compositions span concert halls, dance stages, and film scores — from PBS’s Chihuly Over Venice to the American premiere of Harold Pinter’s Mountain Language. A recipient of the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award and the American Prize in Orchestral Composition, Horvitz continues to shape the Pacific Northwest’s creative landscape through performance, education, composition.
The Church House is a former 1890 church that has been converted into a private home. We don't host many concerts so this is a rare oportuity.
