The three days of sessions, performances, and demonstrations will take place at the orchestra’s home, the New World Center, in Miami Beach, with topics to include low-latency audio/visual streaming, 4K streaming, long-distance networked collaborations, high-speed display devices, and simultaneous multi-location performances. Presenters will include Howard Herring, chief executive officer of the New World Symphony; Joh Kieser, executive vice president and provost of the New World Symphony; and Ann Doyle, founder of cultural initiatives for Internet2, a U.S.-based computer networking consortium. Organizations represented at the conference include the Royal College of Music in London; the Northern Illinois University School of Music; Manhattan School of Music; Cleveland Institute of Music; Royal Danish Academy of Music (Denmark); and Stanford University. A New World Symphony trumpeter will perform with an organist in Prague, Czech Republic, and dance troupes in Detroit and Miami will perform with musicians from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and New World Symphony.
