Saxophonist Elijah Snyder presents the premiere of his reimagination of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd. This collision of worlds is sure to delight jazz and musical theatre fans alike!
Snyder is a saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist from State College. Steeped in the music of legends like Kenny Garrett, Miguel Zenon, Prince, and Ahmad Jamal, Elijah plays with a joyful intensity that lights up the room.
Millheim’s Huck Tritsch is a drummer and multi-instrumentalist from who got his start playing classical violin and traditional old-time fiddle music, but picked up drums soon after, and discovered a passion for jazz. Huck was selected for the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association All-State Jazz Festival, and was recognized as a two-time winner of the prestigious YoungArts National Competition in jazz percussion.
Myles Wilson is a jazz bassist based in Philadelphia. He previously attended the Las Vegas Academy of the Performing Arts, where he majored in jazz and gained experience playing bass in ensembles of various sizes. As a member of the school’s top jazz big band he was awarded multiple downbeat awards.
Adam Hallacher has been an active trumpeter of Central PA’s jazz scene for several years, performing with groups such as The Brass Rats, Zero Point Big Band, and the Adam Hallacher Septet. He currently studies Audio Engineering at the University of Miami.

This exciting trio met at Temple University, where they found a shared passion for jazz music. Together, they create a musical landscape both sensitive and powerful; balancing familiar sounds of their musical predecessors with uncharted explorations, and they blend razor-accurate control with complete freedom of expression. Their repertoire extends from well-known jazz standards, to long-forgotten gems, to their very own compositions.
Come out for an evening of jazz in #DowntownMillheim with some of central PA’s finest!

Folk Music — a fearless new trio of master improvisers:
🎺 Nate Wooley – trumpet/amplifier
🥁 Chris Corsano – drums, electronics, half-clarinet
🥁 Ches Smith – drums, percussion, sampler
After a decade with concept-driven projects like Mutual Aid Music, Nate Wooley (soloist with the NY Philharmonic, redefining trumpet’s sonic boundaries) returns to raw improvisation — inviting two of the most compelling percussionists in the avant scene.
Chris Corsano – the “rim-batterer of choice” for legends like Joe McPhee and Björk, brings untamed energy and relentless invention.
Ches Smith – a rhythmic force who’s worked with everyone from John Zorn to Xiu Xiu to Kris Davis, known for his explosive and subtle command of sound.
This trio conjures everything from delicate whispers to towering sonic avalanches. No rules, just pure improvisation.
🌟 Opening the night:
The Huck Tritsch Quartet – State College’s own rising stars, weaving inventive jazz-rooted improvisation with youthful fire.
