Theo Walentiny will perform at the SOPAC Jazz in the Loft on Sunday. Jazz in the Loft is an intimate series of concerts hosted in the casual cabaret-style setting of the SOPAC Loft. From the age of eight, Walentiny studied improvisation through private lessons with Benjamin Smith, exploring different concepts in a wide variety of genres ranging from classical music to avante-garde and everything in between. At age 11, Theo began studying jazz at NJPAC’s Jazz for Teens in Newark. Two years later, he began studying at Jazz House Kids, where he learned more about the tradition of jazz and developed the skills required to get to the next level in this music.
