Emergency Maestro - Nic Returns to Houston Symphony for Second Time This Season

The pandemic has been a whirlwind for everyone in classical music with much of this year’s concerts cancelled. However, for Nic McGegan, there’s been a bright spot. Houston Symphony engaged him twice this season—August 8 and November 7-8.

Here are two special interviews from Houston Chronicle highlighting the out-of-the-ordinary circumstances to pull off live orchestral performances during these strange times.
