Whitney Houston Estate Launches AI-Enabled Symphonic Tour Opening Sept. 20

Moises’ stem separation isolates near–studio-quality vocals from mixed recordings.

Overview

  • The seven-city run opens Sept. 20–21 with the Cincinnati Pops at Cincinnati Music Hall, then visits Wilmington, Thousand Oaks, Carmel, Waukegan, Palm Desert, and Mesa.
  • Concerts feature Houston’s extracted vocals presented with full symphony orchestras and rare archival footage in a live, multimedia format.
  • Producers turned to AI stem separation because many original multitrack masters are unavailable, enabling clean vocal isolation that was not feasible five years ago.
  • The Estate of Whitney E. Houston authorized the project with Primary Wave Music and Park Avenue Artists, with Pat Houston calling the result a carefully crafted tribute.
  • Music AI, the company behind Moises, plans additional legacy-artist collaborations with Park Avenue Artists, and the announcement has prompted renewed debate over posthumous AI use.
