The Northwest Horn Orchestra's History


Jen Harrison, NWHO Founder

The Northwest Horn Orchestra, based in Portland, Oregon, was founded in 2006 by Jen Harrison, an active free lance and orchestral horn player in Portland. The group is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge about the horn, as well as an opportunity for all the fine horn players in the region to get together and dedicate one concert yearly to music written and arranged for horn.

All the musicians volunteer their time and talents to make this annual event possible. Music for the ensemble comes from several sources, and we are very pleased to feature arrangements written specifically for the Northwest Horn Orchestra.


2007 Performance @ The Old Church

Concerts generally include classical music, with a nice mix of jazz, rock, and other musical surprises. There is almost assuredly a segment of the show dedicated to the Alpine horn, as well as other instruments related to the horn.
