It was good to have guest conductor Nicholas McGegan back in front of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in happier circumstances than last time.
In January, the morning after conducting a marvelous all-Mozart concert here, McGegan tested positive for COVID-19. He had experienced no symptoms, but out of caution the DSO canceled repeat performances of the program. (The DSO has been testing all musicians daily.)
