Meet Nora the piano playing cat! She reminds me of Buna - they look very similar. I don't know if she likes the vibration or the sound, or the way the keys bounce back, but she certainly seems to love playing the piano. Our pets don't have any musical talent we're aware of, but this is kinda cute:
The CATcerto is the current project of the lithuanian conductor, composer and artist Mindaugas Piečaitis. The world premiere was performed by Klaipėda Chamber Orchestra in the Klaipėda Concert Hall in Klaipėda (Lithuania) on 5th June, 2009. It gained recognition in the international media, a.o. the BBC, Lithuanian TV, Baltic TV and the First Baltic Chanel (russian).
Mindaugas Piečaitis composed and directed the Catcerto for Nora The Piano Cat™ and orchestra, where Nora, the soloist, was brought in via video.
