Larry Guy enjoyed a long career as a clarinetist in New York City, where he played with most of the city's orchestras, ballets, operas, modern dance companies, and numerous Broadway shows. He taught clarinet and chamber music at Juilliard, Manhattan School of Music, Vassar College, and NYU, and he authored eight textbooks for clarinetists that are in wide use throughout the country. His four educational CDs, exploring great clarinet virtuosos of the past, are considered "must-hearing" for all aspiring players.

 

Since moving to Albuquerque he has become devoted to drawing and painting, particularly abstract art, because of its potential to convey emotion, energy, and cohesion. Abstract artists create worlds which often have little to do with the mundane reality of everyday life. This alternative reality he finds endlessly fascinating, and he strives to do justice to it.
