Details of the Innovative Concert
The Teatro Monumental in Madrid hosted a unique participatory concert that brought together music, technology, and people.
At the event, artificial intelligence and connectivity technologies became a direct part of the performance alongside the rendition of Johannes Brahms's 4th Symphony.

The symphony orchestra, consisting of around 60 musicians from the Reina Sofia School of Music, was conducted by Josep Pons.
Approximately one thousand attendees used their mobile devices to respond to live questions asked by the concert host.
