Tenor Lorenzo sings in a symphony orchestra and nobody can imagine a successful Messiah or St. Matthew Passion performance without him. His tenor voice has been celebrated throughout the world for decades. As a result of his long and triumphant career, Lorenzo’s residence is well known for its exquisiteness and his art collection is famous. Lorenzo loves to invite orchestra members for parties in his imposing dwelling. Last time however, a very unfortunate incident occured. A dog bit one of Lorenzo’s guests, a renowned and admired cello player Daniel. Just before his recital, Daniel's hand will be of no use for several days. The dog named Hoggie that belongs to a bodyguard Shawn. Shawn could not be seen without his dog. Hoggie has always been kind and friendly. Hoggie saved Lorenzo’s life a few years ago when Lorenzo was robbed. Apparently, Hoggie became jealous of Daniel when a miniature chihuahua puppy, that was brought by opera singer Dorothea grabbed Daniel’s attention. Daniel, a man of a fragile structure and easily upset by offensive actions, this time displayed his mild and gentle side that everybody found socially appealing. He did not complain at all but assigned a cellist, Philip, to be his substitute for the approaching Chicago recital and a tour. This way he just made Philip frenzy from joy!
