Sibelius vs. artificial intelligence
At the Aurora concert in March, audience will be able to judge whether artificial intelligence can beat Sibelius. The chamber music association Artsoppa has used artificial intelligence to create a “fake Sibelius”, which they will play alongside the real Sibelius. Can technology capture the genius of Sibelius? How to distinguish human creativity from the calculated notes of a machine? During the evening, listeners will be challenged to challenge their ears and their minds: can you distinguish between a real Sibelius’ tune and one created by artificial intelligence? The concert offers a fascinating journey into the depths of classical music and a glimpse into what modern technology is capable of. Where do humans and machines meet in the art of music?
The concert is free of charge, welcome!
