The Guy Mintus Trio started with the need to create a musical home in which different identities and influences can co-exist and come together as a unique, unified voice. The electricity and kinetic listening in the group are well-felt and have been described as “keeping the entire hall with held breath,” Barka Fabianova, Full Moon Zine Magazine.
The Trio’s boundary-crossing music portrays an imaginative journey searching for truth, beauty and freedom. Mintus brings together elements from stride piano to Turkish makams, Indian rhythms to Bach-styled counterpoint, Jewish melodies and American jazz standards all weaved together in his own signature style.
The program will present selections from Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart and Gershwin, Naomi Shemer and Guy Mintus.
