Murder, Music, + Macabre

Murder, Music & Macabre brings the Idaho Falls Symphony, Idaho Falls Arts Council, and Museum of Idaho together for a haunting evening where live music and local history come together. Through dramatic storytelling and performance by the Idaho Falls Symphony Brass Quintet, audiences will step into some of the darker chapters of Idaho Falls history, hearing stories of real people whose lives ended in murder, tragedy, scandal, and mystery. From the brutal killing of Waldo Schlag and the murder of veterinarian Dr. J.W. Mercer, to the tragic stories of Lottie Davis and Josie Hill, each tale reveals a piece of the community’s past that is as compelling as it is unsettling. Together, music, theatre, and history create an immersive experience that brings these historical stories back to life for one unforgettable night.
