Inventive developed lifelike hologram avatars of historical composers for a concert tour with star violinist Niklas Liepe – based on LoRA model training and video-to-video technology.
Inventive trained individual LoRA models on historical photographs of George Frideric Handel and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Expressive, lifelike hologram figures were created using video-to-video technology, which took to the stage to engage in dialogue with Niklas Liepe and the audience. The result was not a supporting program – it was the evening itself. A format that captivates people who had never before attended a classical concert.
Result
World premiere: lifelike composer holograms on the concert stage
Tour of 8 German cities
New, younger target groups reached for classical music
Implemented in 8 weeks
Those who want new target audiences need new formats – not more budget for the old ones.
What the Klassische Philharmonie Bonn has achieved with Niklas Liepe is more than just an event. It is proof that broadcaster logic also works in the cultural sector: an unseen format generates attention that sustains itself. This model works wherever a strong story meets a new target audience – cultural institutions, corporate anniversaries, museums, city marketing. The technology is ready. What is usually missing is simply the courage to embrace the format.
