Technology is part of our daily lives, but this program reminds us of the awesome power we have unleashed. Adams’ piece depicts a ride in a sports car quickly regretted; Dukas’ setting of a Goethe poem sees a young wizard meddling in things he doesn’t understand; Schoenberg’s new work includes a battle between cello soloist and hologram; and Strauss’ epic tone poem was featured in the original A.I. gone-wrong-movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Automation is a cinematic concerto that explores the conflicts and connections between man and machine. Watch as cellist Yves Dhar and his holographic A. I. counterpart interact with the Symphony in a groundbreaking composition by Grammy-nominated, Emmy-winning composer Adam Schoenberg.

Concert Length: Approximately 1 hour 55 minutes, with intermission

(A panel discussion, Orchestrating Innovation: A.I. and Creativity, SAT at 6 PM is FREE.)
