I sat here with tears in my eyes enjoying that 5 year old conductor and did not catch his name. Could you please advise.

He has rhythm but I doubt that he's actually "conducting" the orchestra. The musicians never looked up from their music so it was more like they were playing like usual and he was just there. Also once the attention turned away from him and to the real conductor in the audience, he lost interest and seemed really bored.
Amazzing,,,,,,,bravo!
What an amazing young man. And a cutie. I applaud his parents for giving him the opportunity to do something he likes. Who knows? We may be seeing him conducting some of the greatest symphany orchestras in the world.
