About the artists

Born in South Korea, raised in New York, now one of the most active pianists in Australia, Mina Yu expresses her unique and authentic story of being a migrant through music. She approaches classical and contemporary pieces with genuine curiosity, dismantling and reassembling to create something new and beautiful.

Her performance in Primrose Potter Salon presents a program of great breadth – from Charles Mingus and Duke Ellington to Johnny Mandel, Fem Belling and Mina’s own original works. Her effortless improvisation and creativity retains an undercurrent that is both groovy and intimate.
