How dogs joined an orchestra in Denmark

Newshour

Available for over a year

Three dogs joined the Danish Chamber Orchestra for a special performance in Copenhagen. Cookie, Sophus, and Sica barked along to the tune of the Hunting Symphony, a little-known piece by Mozart's father, Leopold. Dozens of dogs auditioned for the part and it took three months to train the successful candidates. Âé¶¹Éç Newshour's Rebecca Kesby spoke to chief conductor Adam Fischer about the instructions for this musical composition, and what it was like to work with these unusual collaborators.
