Witness the evolution of technology.
This multi-genre-concert-experiment will feature a robotic bass guitarist (*spoiler alert*), invented by a kiwi engineer, performing live music in harmony with exceptional human musicians.

Can a robot play music with feeling?

Will you clap for a robot?

How long until robots take over?

We will question of the future of machines in art, through a sonically rich set of performances including pieces from the history of Classic, Blues, Jazz, Rock, and Experimental music.

Some of the best and most talented musicians from New Zealand have been assembled to take on this challenge: Cheryl Grice (Classical Guitar), Sean Clancy (Electric Guitar), Petr Tomek (Piano), and Sam Holdom (Drums).

This will be the first, and maybe the last, performance of its kind worldwide.

Join us to witness history in the making… for better or worse.
