Symphony San Jose Program 4 Automation Saturday, January 27, 2024 at 7:30pm Sunday, January 28, at 2:30pm
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 terrific sports car quickly regretted; Dukas’ setting of the 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 and Cellist Yves Dhar and his holographic A.I. counterpart interact on stage with Symphony San Jose in a groundbreaking composition by Grammy-nominated, Emmy-winning composer Adam Schoenberg that features cello, halldorophone, electronics, orchestra, and projected visuals. Automation promises to be a visceral experience that will leave audiences talking about what it truly means to be human.
