The Seeker is a musical and accompanying illustrated book adaptation of Hermann Hesse's classic novel, Siddhartha, that has captivated readers for over 100 years.

Now vividly retold by composer and author, Rachel Fuller, The Seeker follows the quest of the young Siddhartha as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment during the time of the Gautama Buddha. Siddhartha's adventures and search for wisdom are brought to new life by the striking artwork of Emilia Wharfe, alongside the complete lyrics and narrative from the album.

The Seeker includes access via a QR code to original music composed by Rachel Fuller, narration by the late Christopher Plummer, and features a dazzling array of performances from Pete Townshend, Sir Elton John, Nakhane, Emeli Sande, Layton Williams, Sunidhi Chauhan and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Lifetime followers of this timeless story and a new generation of seekers alike will be enchanted by this magical reimagining.
