Guy Mintus is an Israeli-born piano performer, composer, vocalist, bandleader
and educator. He possesses the finesse of a trained concert pianist, the
energy of a rockstar, and the exploring spirit of a jazz musician. Guy is able
to create a musical playground filled with joy, spontaneity, groove, and
humor. Guy is the winner of the prestigious Leonard Bernstein Award, the Herb
Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award and the audience’s prize at the Montreux Jazz
Festival’s piano competition.
Guy has performed his original music at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center,
Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Israeli Opera. As composer-soloist, he has been
commissioned by the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, American Composers
Orchestra, Israel Chamber Orchestra and Raanana Symphonette, while premiering
his own piano concertos and presenting original improvisation-injected
interpretations to classics such as Rhapsody in Blue and Mozart’s Piano
Concerto no. 9.
Since 2016, Guy Has been leading his own trio featuring Oren Hardy on Bass and
Yonatan Rosen on Drums. The trio’s latest record, _A Gershwin Playground_ ,
provides a fresh, modern and very personal take on the music of a Jewish-
American musical giant while receiving international support from both critics
and audiences alike.
