Astra invites you to experience two concerts that explore how music thinks. Automated Intelligence and Poetic Intelligence offer contrasting reflections on what musical intelligence can be.

These concerts traverse music generated through rule-based systems, algorithmic processes, and machine learning—and music shaped by the inner workings of language and metaphor, and in turn shaping these with the choral voice.
