"Some Places Are Forever Afternoon" Wayne Horvitz returns to The Shedd with the combined forces of his working ensembles The Gravitas Quartet and Sweeter Than The Day on the world premier tour of "Some Places Sre Forever Afternoon", his extraordinary new suite of 11 pieces based on the poems of Northwest poet Richard Hugo (1923-82). Each composition is inspired by a different Hugo poem. The pieces include composed and improvisational elements. The performance of each will be followed by a reading of its corresponding poem by poet and Richard Hugo scholar Frances McCue. The members of the ensemble are: Wayne Horvitz-piano, Ron Miles-trumpet, Peggy Lee-cello, Sara Schoenbeck-bassoon, Timothy Young-guitar, Keith Lowe-bass and Eric Eagle-drums. "Some Places Are Forever Afternoon" was created with funding from the Shifting Foundation. The performance(s) of Wayne Horvitz: Some Places Are Forever Afternoon, presented in collaboration with Earshot Jazz and Helena Presents/Myrna Loy Center, is supported by Presenter Consortium for Jazz, a program of Chamber Music America funded through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
