Micah serves as cover conductor to Gianandrea Noseda for the National Symphony Orchestra’s Opening Gala Concert .

Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake – Suite
Carlos Simon: Monuments: A Suite for DC*
Ottorino Respighi: La boutique fantasque [after Rossini] (The Fantastic Toy Shop) – Suite

Join the National Symphony Orchestra for a celebration of music, movement, and theatrical delight led by Music Director Gianandrea Noseda.

Immerse yourself in Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, where soaring melodies and dark romance unfold in one of ballet’s most beloved scores. Then, hear Washington, D.C. through the music of NSO Composer-in-Residence Carlos Simon—whose Monuments: A Suite for DC transforms the city’s landmarks and spirit into sound. The evening concludes at The Fantastic Toy Shop, Respighi’s orchestral fantasy based on music by Rossini, where a toy shop comes alive at night. From the drama of dance to the pulse of the nation’s capital to a vision of dancing toys, this is music made for the imagination.
