Music for the dogs

Did you know that dogs can hear things that humans can't? In Sydney this month there will be a special concert that only dogs can hear.

WILL they play Bach? Or Offenbach? What about something by the Pet Shop Boys?

New Yorkers Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed will outdo Spencer Tunick's naked photo shoot by staging one of the strangest events to be seen at the Opera House as part of their Vivid Live festival next month.

Music for Dogs - a high-frequency concert that aims to captivate canines while being inaudible to their owners - takes over the northern boardwalk on June 5.

Wonder if we'll get one in Adelaide?
