Guy is the winner of the prestigious Leonard Bernstein Award, the Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award and the audience’s prize at the Montreux Jazz Festival’s piano competition. Guy has performed his original music at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Israeli Opera. As composer-soloist, he has been commissioned by the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, American Composers Orchestra, Israel Chamber Orchestra and Raanana Symphonette, while premiering his own piano concertos and presenting original improvisation-injected interpretations to classics such as Rhapsody in Blue and Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 9. Since 2016, Guy Has been leading his own trio featuring Oren Hardy on Bass and Yonatan Rosen on Drums. The trio’s latest record, A Gershwin Playground , provides a fresh, modern and very personal take on the music of a Jewish- American musical giant while receiving international support from both critics and audiences alike.
