Seattle Composer Wayne Horvitz: Going Beyond Musical Boundaries

Music doesn't make much of an impact unless it connects with our hearts, bodies and souls. That's the rule Seattle pianist and composer Wayne Horvitz follows. He has composed for jazz bands and classical groups alike. But, rather than thinking about musical genres when he writes, Wayne focuses on the instruments and players first. KUOW's Dave Beck spoke with Wayne Horvitz about how he learned to find the right musical tools to make a lasting emotional connection.
