00:19 - We're gonna perform this Jagdsymphony
00:32 by Leopold Mozart because it has been a wish
00:36 from our chief conductor, Adam Fisher,
00:39 for several years to perform exactly this piece
00:42 because then he would be able to put in this element
00:47 of participating dogs.
00:49 So the symphony is in three movements
00:55 and in the last movements we will hear the hunt to begin
01:00 and we will have shootings and then the dogs will start
01:03 to bark around the scenes and we will have three dogs
01:07 on his signal that will bark around the orchestra.

01:55 to participate at this Heidenfestival,
01:59 we thought that would be fantastic.

02:17 and you know she's the star, she's the star.
02:20 I'm just behind her, you know, with all the treats.
