Derek Mickelson, Percussionist

Symphonic Masquerade, Waynesboro Symphony Orchestra

I was honored to perform with the Waynesboro Symphony Orchestra last night. Symphonic Masquerade, WSO’s annual fundraiser Pops Concert was held at the historic Paramount Theater in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The program included works by Webber, Franck, Shostakovich, and Mussorgsky, along some popular movie themes. I was one of two high school musicians brought in as additional percussionists for the performance. It was truly an experience playing with such a large orchestra.
