Concert for Dogs
The 20-minute show features melodies, frequencies and riffs composed specifically for dogs.
Overview
In line with 2020's NZ Festival of the Arts, artist and musician Laurie Anderson is heading to Wellington to stage Concert for Dogs — a gig that doesn't just let humans bring their four-legged friends along, but serves up melodies, frequencies and riffs have been composed specifically for pooches. Taking place on Saturday, March 7 at Odlins Plaza, the 20-minute show combines low-decibel violin, vocals, keyboards and electronic sounds into a symphony certain to get puppers' tails wagging.
Only held a handful of times before — including in Sydney, in New York's Times Square and in Brighton, England — the free event is open to all doggos, although they must play nicely with others and be kept on a leash. For both hounds and humans alike, the concert will be followed by Anderson's Heart of a Dog, her astonishing documentary tribute to her own furry piano-playing and finger-painting BFF, Lolabelle.
Anderson is in the country as a curator of this year's Festival, including a virtual reality experience and a sonic installation dedicated to her partner in art and life, the late Lou Reed.
