Music career[edit]

Micarelli was the concertmaster with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) on their Christmas Season Tour in 2003. After her tour with TSO, she joined Josh Groban on his Closer Tour as a guest soloist and concertmaster.


Micarelli appeared as a featured soloist with Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull) in Vienna in 2006 with the Vienna Radio Orchestra.


In 2004, Micarelli released her first album Music From A Farther Room, executive-produced by Groban. It is a blend of classical pieces and familiar pop songs, including Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", David Bowie's "Lady Grinning Soul" and David Foster's "To Love You More". In May 2005, she opened for West End singer Michael Ball. In October and November 2005 and most of 2006, Micarelli toured the United States with Jethro Tull. In 2007, she toured with Groban again on the Awake Tour to promote his album Awake, and completed her second album, titled Interlude.


In 2008, Micarelli toured with trumpeter Chris Botti. While on tour with Botti in July 2009, she injured her left hand badly enough to affect her ability to play. Her rehabilitation was successful, and she was soon playing again, as the numbness in three of her fingers slowly subsided.[1] She also toured with Botti in 2015-2016.


She appeared on a PBS special on June 3, 2017, and appeared at the Vancouver Island Musicfest July 14–15, 2017.[2]

Acting career[edit]

Micarelli played the role of musician Annie Talarico in HBO's television series Treme, about life in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.[1][3][4]


Micarelli also had a role in an episode of WGN series Manhattan in 2014.


Micarelli plays the lead character, Kate, in the 2020 Hallmark Movies & Mysteries original movie, The Christmas Bow.
