The Guy Mintus Trio represents an exciting fusion of classical elegance, rock energy, and jazzy adventure. Led by the Israeli pianist and composer Guy Mintus, known for his exceptional interpretations and captivating stage presence, the trio creates a musical experience that transcends boundaries and touches hearts!

Israeli-born Guy Mintus, a recipient of the prestigious Leonard Bernstein Award, is a true musical all-rounder. As a concert pianist, he combines technical refinement with the spontaneity of a jazz musician and the vitality of a rock star. His music is inspired by a variety of influences, ranging from Turkish makam and stride piano to South Indian rhythms.

Whether solo, as a trio, or with an orchestra, Guy Mintus always conjures up a world of sound full of joy, spontaneity, groove, and humor. His repertoire includes both his own compositions and creative reinterpretations of pieces by great masters such as Beethoven, Chopin, and Gershwin, as well as the Great Israeli Songbook.

Since 2016, the Guy Mintus Trio has been completed by Oren Hardy on bass and Yonatan Rosen on drums. Together, they have developed a musical chemistry that has delighted both critics and audiences worldwide. Their album, "A Gershwin Playground," offers a fresh and modern interpretation of the works of the great Jewish-American composer George Gershwin. The recording has been acclaimed by the international press. The New York Times praised it: "Mintus blends a variety of influences with such exuberant grace that one might believe they all stem from the same source."
