Member Bio Kevin Garza is a conductor consistently known for his exciting and expressive performances, a composer, and trombonist. He has a background in music education spanning 10 years. From 2014-2017, he was heavily involved in the school band programs in New Albany, IN and the surrounding Louisville, KY area. He taught private lessons on all brass instruments and was on the marching band staff for New Albany High School (NAHS). Kevin composed two original marching shows for NAHS, Destinations (2015) and Crest & Crown (2016), as part of the marching program’s revival after a period of dissolution. As a trombonist in the area, he frequently performed as principal trombone with community groups Brass Band of Louisville and the Louisville Winds. From 2017-2020, Mr. Garza taught in the Dallas/Fort Worth area as a low brass private lesson instructor in Forney ISD, trombone masterclass instructor in Mesquite ISD, and All-Region/State clinician for DeSoto and Garland ISDs. Later in 2020 he served as the Director of Orchestras at Williams High School in Plano ISD until 2024. He taught and conducted three string orchestras and a full symphony orchestra. Mr. Garza made several improvements and contributions as Williams High School’s new orchestra director, stepping in during October of the pandemic for his first year teaching. After the pandemic, he rebuilt and rebranded the orchestra program when on-site learning fully returned. He organized and hosted “Viva Viola,” a one-of-a-kind event for Plano East Cluster viola students, where 2 corporate sponsors paid for over 100 participants to learn from and perform with a distinguished viola professor in the DFW area. Additionally, the Williams High School Chamber Orchestra earned a sweepstakes at UIL Contest for three consecutive years under his direction. Together with the support of parent volunteers, WHS campus administration, and Plano ISD Fine Arts administration, his most significant contribution to the orchestra program was reestablishing its non-profit organization in 2024: the Williams High School Orchestra Booster Club. Today, the Booster Club continues to provide students with additional opportunities, funding, and experiences not seen since 2015. Mr. Garza signed on to conduct the GNTYO Symphony Orchestra in 2023 and enjoys conducting a blend of pops, standard repertoire, and at times his own compositions. In 2024, the GNTYO Symphony gave the world premiere of his string orchestra piece and when the snow fell we loved you still (2024) with Garza at the podium.

Member Bio As a conductor, I work primarily in orchestras and musical theatre. Most of my conducting throughout the years happened at Brown University, from which I graduated in May 2015 with concentrations in music and math. There, I ran the Brown University Chamber Orchestra, a student-led ensemble of about 40 musicians. The picture on the home page comes from our performance of Sibelius 6 in from November 2019. Other than that, I was music director for four shows - West Side Story, Orpheus in the Underworld, The Soldier's Tale, and Into the Woods (pit only). I'll be starting a master's degree in orchestral conducting at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, probably starting in spring 2021. Aside from conducting, I play various instruments - the piano, the cello, and various percussion instruments. With these I've performed as a part of various orchestras and chamber groups, as well as an accompanist. I've also been active as a composer, having written for many friends at many times. For various musical tasks, I'm quite good at engraving music in LilyPond. Outside of music, I enjoy modernist literature, vegan cooking, certain video games, and valuable friendships. I can also be found on platforms such as YouTube, where I intend to post some more videos of my music, and Twitch, where I stream piano playing on certain evenings.
