Interactive Orchestra Performance 2017
The Interactive Orchestra consisted of musicians and AI robots.

 

Combining technology with creativity.


Proving that innovation and artistry can work in harmony, the Global Orchestra invited a robot to join the musicians onstage in 2017. A performance of Charlie Chan’s composition Paradise was played in the Sydney Opera House by a world-class 40-member jazz ensemble. It featured Baxter the Robot on Marimba, who used artificial intelligence to play along. The project was such a success in Sydney, it was performed again later that year in India. 


 

INTRODUCING BAXTER THE ROBOT: Baxter, a rescue robot, plays the marimba. In this video, Global Orchestra founders & trustees introduce the Interactive Orchestra, of which Baxter is an integral part.

COMBINING TECHNOLOGY WITH MUSIC: In partnership with Accenture Interactive, Global Orchestra helped create an immersive, interactive orchestral experience bringing together data, artificial intelligence, music, the web, real-time visualisations and the Adobe Marketing Cloud. The Interactive Orchestra is a not-to-be-missed example of how to capture, analyse and respond to customer preferences in real-time and at scale to create compelling and personalised human experiences.
