The opening concert of the Annual Meeting 2025 in Davos-Klosters will address the pressing issues of glacier melt in Antarctica, aligning with the UN’s declaration of 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation.
The concert, produced by Joseph Fowler, marks the culmination of a transformative trilogy of concerts centered on urgent environmental themes. Following a focus on the plight of coral reefs in 2023 and the exploration of the Sahara-Amazon connection in 2024, the 2025 concert will address glacier melt in Antarctica, aligning with the UN’s declaration of 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation.
Attendees can look forward to an unforgettable blend of immersive AI-generated visuals, an electronic score and live music featuring Scandinavian singer-songwriter Ane Brun, Indigenous tenor and composer Jeremy Dutcher, multifaceted soprano Danielle de Niese accompanied by award-winning composer and pianist Tim Allhoff, and the Morphing Chamber Orchestra. The immersive visuals will be created by media artist and pioneer in the aesthetics of machine intelligence Refik Anadol. Together, they will celebrate the fragile beauty of our planet and inspire urgent action for environmental solutions.
Among the featured artists is Sougwen Chung, who will present her kinetic installation, SPECTRAL. This innovative work delves into the interplay between human intention and machine creativity, utilizing biofeedback and multi-robotic systems. Additionally, Swiss designer Kevin Germanier will highlight his sustainable fashion innovations, including the eco-conscious costumes he crafted for the Paris Olympics, underscoring the critical importance of environmentally friendly practices in the fashion industry.
Also on display is the Work in Progress, co-created by pop artist Jann Haworth and collage artist Liberty Blake, featuring over 130 inspirational women advocating for gender equity and representation. Marine biologist and award-winning photographer Cristina Mittermeier presents her Forum-commissioned exhibition, HOPE, which explores humanity’s connection to nature while challenging narratives of hyper-consumerism and environmental degradation, highlighting the collective responsibility to protect the planet. Fiber artist Gary Tyler, a social justice advocate, shares his journey of resilience through artwork that addresses systemic inequities and amplifies marginalized voices, using mixed media and powerful imagery to provoke thought on racial injustice and inequality.
The Annual Meeting 2025, under the theme of Collaboration in the Intelligent Age, will feature a dynamic and multifaceted arts program, including interactive AI-driven art, music, film, photography and handcrafted creations. This vibrant showcase will emphasize the vital role of creativity in shaping the global dialogue on technological advancement and sustainable development, illustrating how culture can inspire innovation and foster meaningful connections in the rapidly evolving world.
