Peter Mintun is a well-known pianist who is an authority on American popular song and film produced between the two World Wars.
He was born in Berkeley, California into a musical family. He spent his early years performing in the San Francisco area and now lives and performs in Manhattan.
Mr. Mintun continues to travel doing recitals and concerts across the country, performing at such places as Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia and many other venues. He has released 4 CDs.
In addition to performing music of the great American songwriters and lyricists of the period, Peter Mintun serves as a consultant for research into popular music of the 1920s, '30s and '40s. His extensive knowledge, and talent for writing, have made him a favorite among record labels re-issuing classic material.
