Musical event, "Let the Sunshine In," Pays Tribute to the Work of Galt MacDermot
The and present:
A new sixties experience! The music of Galt MacDermot, composer of HAIR and beyond!
Let the Sunshine In is a celebration of the vast musical contributions of Galt MacDermot. Originally created by Eric Svejcar (New York-based Music Director and Composer) and Tamara Meneghini under the support and guidance of MacDermot himself, Svejcar and Meneghini weave together a journey of Galt MacDermot鈥檚 unique place in music history. In the words of MacDermot: 鈥淓ric and Tammy perform with the vigor and enthusiasm that music from the sixties need but with an expertise and insight that is unique and gives the songs new life.鈥
Best known for composing the rock musical, HAIR, Galt MacDermot鈥檚 career spanned more than 50 years, beginning with a Grammy award in 1960 for his song, 鈥淎frican Waltz鈥. He moved to New York in 1964, beginning his legendary Broadway career with HAIR. He wrote numerous other musicals including Isabel鈥檚 a Jezebel, Two Gentlemen of Verona (Tony Award and Drama Desk Award), Dude, Via Galactica and The Human Comedy, to name a few. He contributed to numerous film scores and also performed regularly with the band he formed, New Pulse
Jazz Band, which performed and recorded his original music. With MacDermot鈥檚 passing in December 2018, Svejcar and Meneghini have revived a tribute to the master composer and celebration of songs that embody the joy, energy and 鈥渇unk鈥 that is truly his style.
