Connie’s Artist Statement
Artists Statement
My goal as a photojournalist is to depict the spirit and sacredness of people and their surroundings. The cultural heritage and way of life of many different people are often threatened by global events, war and industrialization. I focus on the nobleness of these people and their lands as they strive to keep their autonomy, culture and community alive. While each group maintains its own cultural identity many attributes, expressions and concerns of living are universal, creating a sense of brotherhood, a global village.
Ouida Mintz Memorial Concert Video

Many of you may remember my mother, Ouida Mintz, who talked to many who called the AERO office. It is hard to believe she passed away more than three years ago. We still strongly feel her presence. Ouida was a former concert pianist who was a friend of Leonard Bernstein and subsequently taught more than 1,000 piano students. She also helped many young concert pianists start their careers as the program director of the Association of Piano Teachers of Long Island. So, when we arranged a memorial concert for her at a Long Island theater, a staggering NINE world famous concert pianists agreed to perform at it. Also included in the program were excerpts from a musical she was writing about her life in music. Until now we have only sold the DVD of the concert privately, but we are now making a free Internet version available to you. Of course if you would like a better quality version the DVD is still available (e-mail jerryaero@aol.com). Also, we still have a few dozen copies left of Ouida’s autobiography, My Friend Lenny, A Memoir of my life in music, with personal stories about Leonard Bernstein, Mike Wallace, Paul Simon and others. Enjoy!
