Orchestra finds child who charmed crowd with ‘wow!’

BOSTON — A performing arts group has found the child who was literally wowed by a recent classical music concert.

The Handel & Haydn Society finished a rendition of Mozart’s “Masonic Funeral” at Boston’s Symphony Hall when a youngster blurted out: “WOW!”

The group was so charmed that they launched a search for the “Wow Child.” WGBH-FM reports Thursday the child is 9-year-old Ronan Mattin, of New Hampshire. He was attending the concert with his grandfather Stephen.
