On May 26, 2020, PETER GALPERIN live streamed a concert which featured songs from BULLDOZER: THE BALLAD OF ROBERT MOSES and LAST OF THE MANNAHATTAS in support of National Jewish Health..
NATIONAL JEWISH HEALTH has been named the nation’s top hospital for respiratory care by U.S. News & World Report in its 2019-20 Best Hospitals rankings. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish Health today is the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to groundbreaking medical research and treatment of patients with chronic respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders. It is the institution in the United States where physicians refer patients with the most difficult respiratory cases.
National Jewish Health began serving patients in 1899 in response to the great number of destitute individuals suffering from tuberculosis. They have made groundbreaking discoveries; educated providers, scientists and patients; and integrated the latest discoveries with personalized, coordinated care for respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders.
A New York City resident, Seattle native and grunge rock refugee, Peter Galperin studied classical violin and piano with his musician parents, and was active in the burgeoning Northwest rock scene as a student at the University of Washington. He has recorded a number of critically-acclaimed CD's in New York and Nashville (available at petergalperin.com), and has composed instrumental music for a variety of dance performances, cable television and independent film soundtracks.
A regular performer as a solo act and with his band in clubs throughout New York City and the Pacific Northwest, Peter's music has been described by Vents Magazine as "uplifting... and thought provoking," and music review site mwe3.com states "Galperin writes and sings... in the style of Paul Simon at his most folk-rockingest."
Peter's first musical BULLDOZER: The Ballad of Robert Moses premiered off-Broadway in 2017 at New York's venerable Theatre at St. Clements. Hailed as "...theatrical gold" by New Yorker Magazine, and "...an impressive debut... a dynamic score" by the broadwayblog.com, the original cast recording is now available at BroadwayRecords.com and can be streamed on Spotify.
Currently, Peter is writing music for a new futurist musical set in 2120 about the effects of climate change and global warming called The Last of the Mannahattas. He hopes to see it in production in 2021, or as soon as the world is open again.
