Music of the Baroque: Birds, Frogs, Crickets, & Dogs at Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park

The animal kingdom comes alive through charming works for orchestra under the direction of Principal Guest Conductor Nicholas Kraemer. Dogs bark in Vivaldi’s “Spring” Concerto from the famous *Four Seasons*. Crickets chirp in Telemann’s unusually scored *Cricket* Symphony, while frogs ribbit in his virtuosic concerto for violin. Delight in the “clucking” and “scratching” in Haydn’s *Hen* Symphony, which closes the program on a wonderfully humorous note.

__VIVALDI__ Violin Concerto in E Major (*Spring*)
__TELEMANN__  *Cricket* Symphony
__VIVALDI__ Flute Concerto in D Major (*The Goldfinch*)
