| When Misha Rachlevsky, Music Director of Chamber Orchestra Kremlin, saw a video with (then) 3-year old Jonathan conducting to the finale of Beethoven's Fifth, he, like everyone else, was astounded... So, during the next US tour of the orchestra, he invited Jonathan, by now four, to conduct the orchestra as an encore to the Kremlin's performance in Torrance, CA. Featured compositions: 1st movement of Beethoven's c-minor string quartet, Op. 18, No. 4 and Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Brahms. Needless to say, Misha and all members of the orchestra, as well as everyone in the audience, were absolutely enchanted. Jonathan, by the way, is nicely progressing in his violin studies, too.
