2. Music of the Baroque: Birds, Frogs, Crickets, & Dogs

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.
