AI MOZART
Matthew Shiel made history by performing the world’s first piano recital of music composed by artificial intelligence at the Edinburgh Festival 2025; this event was broadcast on Al Jazeera and subsequently commissioned by Dame Wendy Hall's Web Science Institute (UK). AI Mozart is a ground-breaking concert of original piano pieces composed by artificial intelligences in an eclectic variety of styles blurring the line between human genius and artificial intelligence. For the grand finale, YOU the audience compose a brand new piece using AI! This show is where Mozart meets machine.
