Could there be a new conductor in the house?
It sounds as though Vasily Petrenko's three-year-old son could be turning into a mini-me maestro.
At the Phil last night one concert goer told me they had chanced to be sitting behind Mrs Petrenko and young Sasha at a concert a couple of weeks ago.
Apparently the tiny blond boy was not only impeccably well behaved and quiet throughout the event.
But when the music struck up the youngster started bobbing his head and moving his hands just like his dad.
(move over Vasily, there's a new conductor in town)
The young family have now, so I understand, made the move from St Petersburg to Merseyside.
So keep your eyes peeled at the Phil for more performances from petit Petrenko.
