About the concert:

Where are we going? Art collides with the world of innovation in an evening of musical performance, digital projection and conversations about the future with leaders in exponential technology, AI, sustainability, social transformation and the creative world. The future is a fast-moving train. On the opening night of the Ilumina Festival in São Paulo, we will bring together agents of change and promote discussions about visionary ideas for powerful social transformation and creative collaboration between sectors. Experience a solo performance by a world-class musician in a tunnel, see a demonstration of robotics and AI in music, listen to a panel discussion on how sustainable agriculture will change the future and sample the world's best specialty coffee. With the festival's resident visual artists Coletivo Coletores digitally mapping and projecting in the epic space of Casa das Caldeiras, this will be a night unlike any other. Come, be inspired, grab a drink and join us in the beer garden to dance and toast to 10 years of Ilumina!

About the concert:

At the close of the 10th festival, we analyze the connection of the universe, how everything we are contains everything that came before, in the voices of our ancestors, their legends and wisdom. In our impact on the Earth and the vision of a future in which cities are submerged in the remains of melting ice. Through music based on repetition, how extraordinary innovation can be born from simplicity. A new work by composer-in-residence Clarice Assad weaves the power of AI and robotics into the narrative of analog instruments; and the concert completes the circle with the same work that closed the first Ilumina Festival in 2015, Brahms' Sextet in G major. The wheel of the future keeps turning and, with it, we evolve.
