Peter Galperin

A New York City resident, Seattle native and grunge rock refugee, Peter studied classical violin and piano with his musician parents, and was active in the burgeoning Northwest music scene. He has recorded four critically-acclaimed CD's in New York and Nashville, and has composed music for a variety of dance performances, TV, and independent film soundtracks. He regularly performs as a solo act and with his band in clubs throughout New York City and in the Pacific Northwest. Music Web Express 3000 has described him musically "in the spirit of Paul Simon at his most folk-rockingest," and ventsmagazine.com says "Galperin's music is uplifting, thought provoking, and overly eccentric in a good way."

"BULLDOZER: The Ballad of Robert Moses," is his first theatrical work. Written for a cast of five and a live band, it has been praised as "...an impressive debut... with a dynamic score," by thebroadwayblog.com, called "...a perfect fit for Off-Broadway theater," by letsgotothetheater.com, and "...brutal ...rollicking," by stagebuddy.com.

Peter is currently developing a play with music that explores the intersection of real estate, love, and cosmetic surgery, and he's writing a new musical focused on climate change that he'd rather not talk about just yet. His CD's are available for streaming and downloading at petergalperin.com, and all the usual digital sources.
