Sara Schoenbeck and Wayne Horvitz first met as musicians at the “Time Flies” festival (Vancouver B.C.) in 2000. In 2004 Horvitz formed the Gravitas Quartet with Schoenbeck, Ron Miles (Trumpet) and Peggy Lee (Cello). This quartet recorded two CDs, and performed throughout Europe and North America. In 2015 Horvitz fused his ensemble “Sweeter Than The Day” with the Gravitas Quartet to create a septet performing compositions based on the poem of Richard Hugo. “Some Places Are Forever Afternoon” resulted in a CD, touring throughout the US, and an episode of NPR’s “Jazz Night In America”, hosted by Christian McBride. In addition, Schoenbeck and Horvitz have performed in numerous improvised collectives, special projects, and the occasional duo concert.
In 2018, the duo Schoenbeck/Horvitz was created, with subsequent concerts in NY, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Ann Arbor, Sacramento, Northhampton, Buffalo, Edmonton Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago and Detroit. Their first CD will be released on the Sonlgine label in May 2020 followed by touring in the U.S. and Europe.
Schoenbeck has collaborated with, among others, Anthony Braxton, Butch Morris, Mark Dresser, Pamela Z, and Roscoe Mitchell, and maintains her commitment to micro-tonal music and contemporary music. Recent performances include works by both Boulez, and Xenakis, and as a featured improvising soloist with the Mivos Quartet performing Horvitz’ These Hills of Glory (String Quartet and Improviser).
Horvitz, an integral member of the NY Downtown Scene in the 80s, is known for his long-standing collaborations with John Zorn, Butch Morris, Bill Frisell, Robin Holcomb et al., as well as a prolific composer for orchestra, string quartet, mixed chamber instrumentations, and electronics. Recent works include commissions for the Seattle Symphony, The North Corner Chamber Orchestra, and an installation for the Seattle Art Museum.
