Guimaraes has collaborated as a guest tubist with ensembles, including the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

Guimaraes earned the silver medal at the Leonard Falcone International Euphonium and Tuba Festival artist division competition and the first prize award during the 2016 NERTEC solo competition. He has performed as a soloist with the Florida Atlantic University Band and Orchestra, the Blue Lake Festival Band, and the James Madison University Brass Band. He has also appeared as a guest artist with the Lynn University Wind Ensemble and presented solo recitals at the U.S. Army Band, Tuba and Euphonium Workshop, and regional conferences.

He is the recipient of the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans and the Sphinx Organization’s MPower Artist Grant for his efforts to eliminate systemic inequities. Guimaraes’s dedication to the arts has garnered national attention from publications including The New York Times, The New American, Yale University News, and the Chronicle of Higher Education.
