Music for Doggy Ears

AUSTRALIA: The Sydney Opera House came alive this June, with the sound of high pitched music and howling dogs at the world’s first concert for dogs.

The concert was the brainchild of acclaimed US music artist Laurie Anderson and her rock legend husband Lou Reed. Anderson wrote the 20-minute piece ‘Music for Dogs’, describing it as “an inter-species social gathering on a scale never seen before in Australia”.

Big dogs, small dogs, dogs dressed up for the occasion and even a 15-year-old arthritic dog, whose owner wheeled him about in a makeshift dog wheelchair, attended the world’s first ever outdoor musical performance staged for dogs.
