| Spigelman surprised the search committee during his audition at Greenhill School with a program for children ages 5-7. Recognizing the children's desire to move during the Mozart Divertimento in D. K. 136, he led them in a series of musical interludes where they were instructed to dance as the orchestra played! As one of the board members remarked, "I have never seen this kind of energy for music come alive so vibrantly. Ron energized every little person there and the adults alike. His musical magic enveloped everyone within hearing distance. Even passersby in the school were sticking in their heads to catch a glimpse of the excitement." | |||
