Who's playing
Troyer graduated from the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati and now studies jazz at the College-Conservatory of Music, focusing on upright bass. She sings as well as plays, and she won first prize in the vocal division of the 2023 Cincinnati Arts Association Overture Awards at the Aronoff Center. Her programs have included a Nancy Wilson tribute at Caffe Vivace and a ladies-of-jazz show at Memorial Hall.
What to expect
The set takes place on the Johnson Foundation stage inside Winterhaus, a heated, glass-enclosed tent on the plaza at Fountain Square. The tent measures 65 feet by 65 feet and has a full bar, so it stays comfortable through the cold months. Winterhaus runs from late autumn into early spring, and the jazz programming is one part of its daily events.
Why go
Hearing a local bassist and singer on the downtown plaza is a low-key way to catch the city's jazz scene. The series rotates a new act each week, so every visit brings a different sound to the same stage. For a winter evening that stays close to home, this one is worth the trip downtown.
