In 1994, Peter Schickele's "Thurber's Dogs" was commissioned by ProMusica orchestra and the Thurber House to commemorate James Thurber's 100th birthday anniversary. Schickele, world renowned composer and longtime friend of Thurber, was commissioned to compose a work based on the writings and drawings of the celebrated Columbus author. Schickele composed the six-movement suite, and the piece was premiered with Thurber's dog drawings shown on slides above the orchestra. Since then, the piece has earned nationwide recognition, and the complete suite has been performed by some of America's finest orchestras since ProMusica's world premiere performance.
