GALT MACDERMOT is best known for the music he wrote for Hair and his Tony Award-winning score for Two Gentlemen of Verona. The son of a Canadian diplomat, Mr. MacDermot was born and raised in Montreal. After attending Bishop’s University, he received a Bachelor of Music degree from Cape Town University, South Africa. Based on this traditional training, he writes all his own arrangements. He moved to New York in 1964 and three years later wrote the music for the landmark Broadway production Hair, which he later adapted for the screen. MacDermot formed the New Pulse Band in 1979, which features his original music. The New Pulse Band combines the lyricism of the best musical theatre with the rhythms of classic jazz and soul to create a uniquely captivating sound. The new Broadway production of Hair marks the 40th anniversary of the original, but is also a culmination of 40 years in which Hair has played in all corners of the world. Mr. MacDermot is involved with the new production and has incorporated the New Pulse Band into the Broadway stage band.
