At a Tokyo Christmas concert which was held at one of Tokyo's most prestigious concert halls, three musicians with disabilities perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with a full orchestra and choir using an AI-powered piano.

The "Anybody's Piano" tracked the notes of the music and augments the performance by adding whatever keys are needed but not pressed. The result of their collaboration was a revised version of Yamaha's auto-playing piano, which was released in 2015. Thursday's Christmas performance was the first such concert.
