During a Handel & Haydn Society concert at Boston’s Symphony Hall in May 2019, a 9-year-old boy shouted ‘wow!’ at the end of Mozart’s Masonic Funeral Music.
H&H president David Snead, moved by the response, set out to track the boy down.
Turns out the boy, Ronan, is autistic and non-verbal, but Mozart cut through his walls.
And now there’s a book about him.
Watch.
