Central to this change is the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). Three revolutions have gone before: mechanisation, mass production, and simple digitisation/ automation. The fourth revolution builds on the third and is characterised by a combination of technologies where the boundaries between the physical, digital, and biological spheres are now blurred.  \nDrawing on musical examples from Australia, this article is sited in and makes links with relevant elements of the fourth industrial revolution illustrating how music (in combination with other artforms) has enormous potential to benefit the well-being of the nation’s citizens, creating unity between community and humanity. In this article (an expansion on Watson & Forrest, 2020) we focus on music initiatives that operate within Australian hospitals, the community and schools, involving marginalised members of society, with outcomes that are not specifically music-related. A variety of partner organisations and volunteers provide professional services and financial support to allow these activities to achieve their goals and remain viable.  \nThe organisations and programs under consideration are the Hush Foundation, the Choir of Hard Knocks, three El Sistema inspired programs (The Pizzicato Effect, Crashendo! and Crescendo), the Boite Schools Chorus and Millennium Chorus and Don’t Stop the Music.  \nMusicians (as professionals, undergraduates, amateurs) and music educators, are involved in these types of projects either as an aspect of their career and earning a living or as a voluntary community member. Although music is a central point for achievement, the major outcomes are not necessarily going to be musical, either by design or through lack of planning. It is acknowledged that music has a significant role in the community for therapy, for healing, for well-being, and to support other academic goals.  \nKey words: Fourth industrial revolution, humanity, employability skills, intercultural dialogue  \nBackground  \nThe fourth industrial revolution is a term devised by Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum. He describes a world where individuals use connected technology to enable and manage their lives, moving between digital domains and off-line reality (Xu et al., 2018). The previous three revolutions can be described in the following way: The first industrial revolution started in 1760 with the invention of the steam engine; the second industrial revolution began in 1900 with  \nthe invention of the internal combustion engine; and the third industrial revolution started in 1960 and was characterised with the implementation of electronics and information technology to automate production (Xu et al., 2018).  \nSheldon (2018) argues that an important issue facing education, and humanity in general, is the fastapproaching revolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Sheldon remarks that nothing matters more than education for people to use AI as a liberation tool for the future of humanity. It is acknowledged that people will have no control over either technology  \nor the disruption that comes with the fourth industrial revolution, but it will shape the impact on government and business. (Xu et al., 2018).  \nThis article positions the interaction of musicians, composers, commissioners of musical works, influences of life’s experiences and the resulting musical performances as the central pivot; within a larger setting of the fourth industrial revolution.
