the interactive orchestra

In 2017, the Interactive Orchestra, a Global Orchestra project, took to the stage at the Sydney Opera House in a performance that proved music and technology could work hand-in-hand.  

Under the direction of Artistic Director Charlie Chan, the Global Orchestra collaborated with the Accenture Liquid Studio team to create an orchestra which was part human, part AI robot, to deliver an immersive, interactive orchestral experience like no other.

In a world-first, Baxter - an artificial intelligence robot - played the marimba as a member of the 40-piece improvisational jazz ensemble.
