AI and the Future of Creativity

Why AI is just a tool—and what truly matters is how we use it

With AI, we’ve reached a point where machines can even mimic what we call creativity—yet this alone has little value unless we apply it meaningfully.

Artificial intelligence is transforming classical music and the performing arts in groundbreaking ways. This session explores AI’s role across key areas, from composition and artist management to funding, ticket sales, production, and marketing. Experts will share insights on practical applications, challenges, and future possibilities. Through real-world examples, they will examine how AI enhances creativity, streamlines workflows, and reshapes audience engagement. Join this session for an in-depth discussion on AI’s evolving impact, concluding with an open forum to exchange ideas and perspectives on the opportunities and challenges of AI in the arts.
