NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Carnegie Hall, one of the world’s greatest concert halls, is partnering with leading AI and knowledge graph company Stardog to introduce an AI-powered tool that helps online visitors to search and explore the Hall’s vast performance database of more than 62,000 events.
This new digital resource invites everyone—from music lovers and students to historians and artists—to easily learn more about the incredible array of concerts and events that have taken place at the iconic music venue over the last 130+ years.
Online visitors can now ask questions through a conversational AI chat interface (carnegiehall.org/voicebox), inquiring about the wide variety of artists who have appeared on the Hall’s illustrious stages, discovering which musical compositions or songs were performed, how often, and by whom—making Carnegie Hall’s performance history accessible to fans in a new, exciting way.
“As an organization, we’re always looking at how technology can improve the experience of those we serve at Carnegie Hall,” said Ezra Wiesner, Chief Information Officer at Carnegie Hall. “We’re excited to work with Stardog and use their cutting-edge technology to experiment with a new window into the world of Carnegie Hall in a way that honors its history and inspires new generations of music lovers to explore.”
Stardog, better known for building advanced AI systems for NASA and enterprise giants like Morgan Stanley, Raytheon, and Bosch, is branching into the cultural sector with this collaboration. Stardog Voicebox, the company’s knowledge graph-powered natural language interface, allows end users in the general public to ask questions and receive precise, context-rich answers from Carnegie Hall’s database.
“At Stardog, we help organizations uncover trusted and often hidden insights from their data,” said CEO Craig Harper. “AI can be a very abstract concept for the general public and partnering with Carnegie Hall is a unique opportunity to bring our technology to the public in a way that is meaningful, educational, and enduring.”
More About Carnegie Hall’s Susan W. Rose Archives
Carnegie Hall’s Archives was established in 1986. Since no central repository existed prior to that time, a significant portion of the Hall’s documented history had been lost, discarded, or otherwise forgotten. For nearly 40 years, the Archives team has meticulously re-constructed the Hall’s history, frequently turning to concertgoers, artists, and music lovers across the country to collect more than 400,000 items related to more than 62,000 performances and events.
In 2012, the Archives entered a new chapter launching an initiative to conserve and digitize most of its historic materials, ensuring that the Hall’s legacy is preserved and can be shared with future generations. In 2013, searchable program information from 1891 through the present day was made available directly to the public through its online Performance History Search. In 2019, the Hall’s new Digital Collections invited the public to search and explore select archival collections online for the very first time.
The launch of carnegiehall.org/voicebox in 2025—inviting users to experiment by utilizing the latest tools available in the world of AI—underscores the Hall’s commitment to preservation, education, and accessibility in the digital age.
“In 2017, we decided to make our semantic linked open data available on the web, enabling us to connect our information to other data found online,” said Rob Hudson, Assistant Director of Carnegie Hall’s Rose Museum and Archives. “The introduction of Voicebox builds on that foundation, encouraging online visitors to interact with our history in a fun, easy way.”
