Guy Cuyvers studied classical guitar with Victor Van Puyenbroeck at the Royal Flemish Conservatory in Antwerp and subsequently took private lessons with Angel Romero. Awards and recognition soon followed. He was laureate in a masterclass given by José Thomas in 1984 and finalist in Belgian national television’s Tenuto competition one year later. After graduating in Antwerp and supplementing his training in guitar, advanced composition and orchestra conducting in Washington D.C., Guy received his Master of Arts at the LUCA School of Arts.
