MUSIC

Are humans just puppets dancing to the mind’s unconscious tunes? Maestro tells the story of one composer’s journey as he struggles to make a living. As his publisher and patrons lose interest in his works, and an industry rival increasingly becomes a threat to his livelihood, Maestro grows increasingly bitter and resentful. In his darkest, weakest hour, he is tempted by his alter ego, a musical prodigy and maniac, to exchange his sanity for brilliance.

NUS Piano Ensemble brings together the art of four-hand and eight-hand piano performance and theatrical storytelling in this Faustian tale.
