🎶Nic McGegan Returns to the LA Phil
Nic McGegan brings his signature style and infectious joy to Walt Disney Concert Hall, April 10–13, leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a vibrant program of Vivaldi, Haydn, and Mozart. Concertmaster Martin Chalifour joins as soloist in The Four Seasons—a night sure to sparkle with Baroque brilliance and Classical elegance.
đźŽComedy, Clarity, and Choral Power
March saw Nic leading remarkable performances from the East Coast to the Bay Area. The month began in Philadelphia, where he conducted a fresh and insightful production of Le nozze di Figaro at the Curtis Opera Theatre—bringing wit, warmth, and classical finesse to Mozart’s beloved comedy.
Later in the month, he took the podium with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra in a dynamic program of Bach, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky. Concertmaster Kevin Lin was featured in Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3, and Mozartiana closed the evening with charm and style.
“With Nicholas McGegan conducting, verve and style embraced us…” — NUVO

🎤 On Balance, Beauty, and Living Well
In a recent interview with The Classic Review, Nic shared reflections on artistry and the importance of life beyond the score:
“Living a varied life will make you a better musician.”
From culinary joys to historic insight, Nic’s spirit is as expansive as the repertoire he conducts.
