AV News reported on a cute story at the Boston Symphony Hall:
“The Handel And Haydn Society orchestra was performing at the Boston Symphony Hall. Just after the final rest of Mozart’s ‘Masonic Funeral Music,’ an unseen kid yelled out ‘wow!’ in apparently unvarnished appreciation of what he’d just heard. Everyone laughed and applauded the moment.”
