After starting college in computer science, Guy realized that pursuing a path of music was his true path. A few years of playing in bands, the folk circuit and other musical avenues finally led him to presenting musical programs in schools. This began the Chautauqua Express Musical Programs in 1986.
Summers were soon filled with family concerts at all types of venues: fairs, festivals, concert series and more…
The 1990’s and 2000’s were packed with hundreds of concerts each year, the development of many classic shows for schools such as “The World Music Tour”, and the collaboration with outstanding office manager Kim Gouin. The Chautauqua Express became known as one of the finest performing companies in the Great Lake State, being selected into the Michigan Touring Arts program.
In 2011, a television pilot episode titled “Worlds of Music” was created. This also marks the shift from using the Chautauqua Express Musical Programs moniker exclusively, to using the “Worlds of Music” logo and company name.
Guy continues to create and perform programs that express his musical service and commitment to his community. The very latest presentation “Relaxation to Resilience” represents a synthesis of his interactive musical performance style and his passion for helping young people of all ages learn the art and science of resilience building skills.
