What is a Groupmuse?
A Groupmuse is a classical music house concert and party. Originally established in Paris during the late 19th century, salon or house concerts gather people together in intimate corridors to experience culture, witness musical virtuosity, network, and sponsor musicians. Groupmuse is merely continuing this historical tradition in a modern context.

He has performed solo at Carnegie Hall, London's Royal Albert Hall, Birdland Jazz Club NYC, Rockwood Music Hall, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Britt Festival, and many other prestigious music venues. In October 2017, he performed solo for over 300 world leaders at the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan, NY. The following year he was invited to perform for the former Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, on the 73rd floor of the World Tower located on the UN Plaza in NYC. Tye was commissioned to arrange and perform 16th century French renaissance music for guitar and string quartet during the second season premiere of the Netflix Original Series, "Versailles" at the US French Embassy. In May 2019, Tye moved to Shanghai, China for a performance and teaching artist residency at the iSchool of Music-Shanghai. He's currently touring the Pacific Northwest before embarking on a six-month tour of the South Caribbean Islands as the Principal Classical Guitarist onboard Royal Caribbean International Cruise Line's Adventure of the Seas starting April 25, 2020.
