Peter Einhorn Group

On Saturday, June 8, at 7:00 pm, in the Old Town Hall, our jazz series continues with the Peter Einhorn Group. Peter is a graduate of the University of Miami jazz guitar program and holds master’s degrees in music composition and mathematics. He is an active player, an award-winning video and documentary composer, and the inventor of the SpiderCapo, which has expanded the voice of the guitar and is distributed worldwide.

Peter has performed and/or recorded with Ira Sullivan, Joe Lavono, Jimmy Cobb, Placido Domingo, John Abercrombie, Eddie Daniels, Walter Booker, and many others, with performances spanning the gambit from NYC jazz clubs to the Metropolitan Opera. He has been the recipient of a “Meet the Composer” grant and has scored over 30 videos and documentaries for private sources and cable TV (History Channel). He has taught guitar, jazz improvisation, ensembles, and composition at the A.M.I. School in Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia; the National Guitar Workshop; Bard College; and at Barconi Music Studios.

He is published on Jamplay.com, a leading guitar instruction site, with lesson series on Brazilian Guitar, Chord Melody, and Beginning Guitar with the SpiderCapo. Print guitar improvisational instruction books include “Introducing the Dorian Mode” and “Introducing the Mixolydian Mode” from Alfred Publishing. He lives in Woodstock, NY, with his talented wife Beth (voice, piano, flute, guitar, child psychiatrist, innovator of meditation/visualization methods).
