A New York City man has gone viral after his rousing performance as a guest conductor for the Chelsea Symphony Orchestra was captured on video.
Tim Schultheis, an audience member at the musical group’s holiday concert last Friday, won a raffle to be a guest conductor for a song that night, according to TMX News.
Schultheis was seen waving the conductor’s baton and dancing with energy as the orchestra played the Leroy Anderson holiday classic "Sleigh Ride."
