Canine wanders on stage during orchestra performance in Turkey

June 30 (UPI) -- A well-cultured canine with an appreciation for classical music received an ovation when he wandered on stage during a Vienna Chamber Orchestra concert in Turkey.

Turkish pianist Fazil Say tweeted a short video clip from the Vienna Chamber Orchestra's June 20 performance in Ephesus.

The video shows a curious dog calmly wander on stage during the first movement of Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony.

The dog's arrival elicits laughter followed by cheers and applause when the canine plants itself next to conductor Ola Rudner.

Say branded the dog's arrival the "cutest moment in classical music."
