Herman Hesse’s beloved novella of the same name brought to life with music. Conceived, written, and composed by Dutch pianist Jochem le Cointre, with generous support from the New School of Jazz, the experimental show combined operatic musical numbers, modern dance, and avant garde theatrics to give new life to a cultural phenomenon. The show was produced at the Mannes School of Music (The New School), in May 2016. Directed by Samantha Tella, assistant directed by Aaron D. Van Scyoc.
