WCIT 2019 will kick off with a first of its kind, artificially
intelligent classical music concert, which will take place
in open air, in Yerevan’s iconic Republic Square. The
WCIT Orchestra will be composed of musicians from the
symphony orchestras of all 15 countries that have
previously hosted the Congress and the Armenian State
Symphony Orchestra. The music, composed by AI in real
time, will have a distinct Armenian flair and will be
accompanied by state-of-the-art visualizations. The
members of the orchestra will be seeing the music for
the first time, performing it on stage as it is being
composed. This ambitious creative endeavor will
explore uncharted territory, creating symbiosis where
art, culture, and artificial talent meet.
