You and your pets are invited to the DeeDee Arrison Concert for the Animals with world-renowned violinists Tim Fain and Francisco Fullana, accompanied by pianist Robert Koenig!

DeeDee, the Briard for whom the concert is named, was a kind and generous soul who always shared with other animals. Her spirit lives on by sharing this experience with friends like you. Well-socialized pets are also invited to attend in-person.

You are also invited to submit a photo of a beloved pet. If your pet has passed away, please be sure to include the year your pet crossed the Rainbow Bridge (without that date, the pet will be assumed to be living). Pet pictures uploaded to the website by September 22, 2022 will be included in a visual tribute.

This event will be livestreamed.

Online: If you would like to attend online, please register to attend online by September 29, 2022.

In-person: No registration necessary for in-person attendees! The concert will be held on the first floor, Lecture Halls 4 & 5, at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, NY.
