Michael J. Garasi
Guest Conductor
Possessing extraordinary stage charisma and
ease of connection with audiences, an intuitive
and instinctive understanding and passion
for music, and having broad-scope experience
directing ensembles of all genres and levels,
Michael J. Garasi is one of the most engaging,
and exciting professional conductors of our day.
Mr. Garasi is the Music Director and Principal
Conductor of the professional, Florida Lakes
Symphony Orchestra in Central Florida. Under
maestro Garasi’s baton, the FLSO has become a
significant profile in the Central Florida community.
His creative contributions to the regular FLSO
concert season include: side-by-side performances
with local youth orchestras and college students in the area, the development of the FLSO Chamber
Music Series and Meet the Musician Series, the formation of the annual Concerto/Aria Competition
for Young Artists, and the programming of premiere works by local composers.
Previously, Mr. Garasi has held positions of Music Director/Conductor for the Treasure Coast
Symphony, and the Broward Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Garasi has been guest conductor for the
Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, and for six years, annually conducted the Epcot Candlelight
Processional Orchestra and 200-voice choir at Walt Disney World.
A committed advocate for the performance of new music, Mr. Garasi was invited and conducted
the premiere season of the professional New Score Chamber Orchestra in Orlando, Florida,
performing the music of living composers of our day. Mr. Garasi was also a part of the 1st “Young
Composers Challenge” annual event, sponsored by the Orlando Philharmonic. At the School of
Performing Arts at the University of Central Florida, Mr. Garasi performed on piano in Steve
Reich’s “Music for 18 Musicians”, was the Advisor for the formation of NewME (New Music
Ensemble), which provided student composers and performers an opportunity to compose/
perform contemporary art music, and implemented the UCF Annual Composition Competition.
Mr. Garasi has had the privilege of conducting such outstanding artists as Harpist Elizabeth
Hainen; Trumpeter Philip Smith, Cuban guitarist Carlos Molina; mezzo-soprano Rachelle
Fleming, (sister to world-renowned soprano, Rene Fleming), and bass baritone Michael Riley.
With a gift for understanding, motivating and conducting youth ensembles, Mr. Garasi has
spent years investing in the lives of young musicians. As a full-time faculty member of the
School of Performing Arts at the University of Central Florida for seven years, Mr. Garasi was
on the instrumental conducting faculty conducting the symphony orchestra, wind ensemble,
chamber orchestra for the musicals in collaboration with UCF Theatre, and taught numerous
undergraduate and graduate courses, including Music Theory, Music Appreciation, and
Conducting. Mr. Garasi has held positions as the Artistic Director/Conductor of the Brevard
Symphony Youth Orchestra, the Conductor of the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra’s
Philharmonia, and has been actively involved in public and private school music education as
guest conductor of All-County Honors orchestras and bands throughout the state of Florida.

Acclaimed as one of the most formidable and reputable conductors in the world of Brass
Bands, Mr. Garasi is known for his dynamic presence and leadership, both in preparation
and performance. Charismatic, trend-setting, progressive and creative, Mr. Garasi was the
musical director of the Brass Band of Central Florida for nine years, leading them to win both
major titles in US brass banding, two tours to England, recording four albums and leading
the ensemble to a new level of national and international prominence. Mr. Garasi became
the first American brass band conductor ever to be nominated by England’s 4 Bars Rest.com
for the “Newcomer of the Year” Award in 2004 and the “Conductor of the Year” award in
2006. Mr. Garasi also won the “Best New Arrangement” Award in the U.S. Open Brass Band
Championships in 2004 and 2005. In 2007, Mr. Garasi became the first American conductor
to adjudicate at the most prestigious entertainment competition for brass bands in the
world, the Brass in Concert Competition at the Sage in Gateshead, England. Because of this
international success, Mr. Garasi was invited to England twice to conduct the world famous
Grimethorpe Colliery Band on numerous concerts and at the Brass in Concert Competition
in 2008. Still active in the world of Brass Bands, Mr. Garasi was recently invited to adjudicate
at the North American Brass Band Championships in 2013, and is presently on the NABBA
Board of Directors.
Mr. Garasi studied at the Eastman School of Music and holds a bachelor and master degrees
from the Cleveland Institute of Music. In addition to his formal degrees, Mr. Garasi has studied
advanced conducting with Kenneth Kiesler, Michael Jinbo, and Joseph Kreines.
Mr. Garasi is married to published music and curriculum writer and editor, Cherry T. Garasi.
Michael and Cherry reside in Houston, Texas.

David Ratajczak
Ratajczak, who was one of the most
sought-after percussionists, performed
and recorded with a wide variety of artists
as well as many Tony award winning
Broadway shows and film soundtracks.
His credits included the shows City
of Angels, Crazy for You, Wonderful
Town, Sweet Charity, Titanic, The Music
Man and Mary Poppins. A graduate of
the famed Eastman School of Music,
Ratajczak also worked with jazz and pop
artists Woody Herman, Gerry Mulligan,
John Fedchock, Audra McDonald and
Debby Boone. He recorded many TV and
radio jingles and played the soundtracks
to films such as Dead Man Walking,
Miller’s Crossing, The Pelican Brief and
Brighton Beach Memoirs.
Ratajczak played a huge part in the
BBBC’s beginning. Freeh went on to
arrange Sing, Sing, Sing for the BBBC
with David in mind. This arrangement
ended up being an audience favorite.
According to Jim Gray, co-founder
and director of the BBBC, Ratajczak
joined the band in 1997 when arranger
Mark Freeh recommended him for his
up-tempo swing version of Old Man
River piece he’d done for the band that
featured the drum set at various times.
“David had the unique ability to be a
fantastic drum set player and yet also
be able to perform on ‘concert percussion.’
Those types are hard to find,”
Gray added, fondly.
One of Ratajczak’s career highlights was
recreating the role of jazz drumming
great Gene Krupa with Bob Wilbur’s
orchestra in a Carnegie Hall performance
celebrating the 50th anniversary of
Benny Goodman’s historic 1938 concert.
“I liked this piece and wanted (the
BBBC) to perform it as I thought the
audience would like it. Only problem
was, we didn’t have a drum set player that
had the chops to do it,” Gray explained.
During his tenure with the BBBC,
Ratajczak was featured in many pieces
including Sing, Sing, Sing, Cute,
Old Man River, St. Louis Blues,
South Rampart Street Parade and more.
After discussing his concern with Freeh,
Ratajczak was soon on a plane from New
York to play the piece with the band.
And the rest, as they say, is history.

Youth Brass Band
On June 1, 2013, the BBBC debuted the BBBC Youth Brass Band. A committee of
community stakeholders, music educators from all over the state of Michigan and several
BBBC musicians worked on this initiative. This band was an inclusive group, did not
require an audition, and had no fee to participate. Over 100 youth from all over the state of
Michigan, Wisconsin, and Virginia registered to participate in this event. This ensemble gave
youth in ninth through twelfth grade an opportunity to study with Major Dwayne Milburn
(Deputy Commander of the US Army Field Band), attend leadership skill building sessions
with leadership clinician Fran Kick (www.kickinit.com), participate in group lessons with
and play beside world-class brass and percussion musicians. Students were able to network
with each other, BBBC musicians and build friendships that will last a lifetime. This year’s
youth brass band day was held in conjunction with the summer concert. Check out
www.bbbc.net in early 2016 for registration information.
"My son, Ryan, enjoyed the day and was excited to play with the band as
well as see the band perform. He actually posted a story to your facebook
page this weekend about how this experience inspired him"
-Deb
"It was such a great experience-from meeting
new horn playing friends to working with
Professor Bontrager."
-Elle
"It was an experience that my son will never
forget. He is hoping that he can be a part of
it again in the future."
-Melissa

Youth Brass Band
"I liked that we got the talks from Mr. Kick,
and that the Brass Band members took time
out of their day to work with us on improving
our technique to make us better musicians."
"My kids enjoyed meeting other HS kids,
Fran Kick's workshop, and especially meeting
the players in the BBBC."
