Three standing ovations? That’s right - three times the Grand Junction audience at the Canyon View Vineyard Church stood up and let the musical group FEAST know that they thought their July 27 performance was top-notch.....gusto and energy and fine technical prowess...creative blasts-off into musical fun and fantasy.......... As I have
reviewed the Mientkas many times, there’s not much I can add, in the way of my opinion of their musical genius and creativity. While I actually hate the term “world class”, it truly conveys the fine level of their musicality. The signature aspect of all the Mientka arrangements is a respect for - a creativity with - the abilities and uniqueness of each
instrument involved in the blend. The game plan? Wall-to-wall sound and energy, in the fast music, and fine detail and feeling in the slow numbers. The great flexibility of this group is that they can be fast and frenetic as well as quiet, simple and tender in their expression.
