Samuel Perlman

Hi! My name is Samuel Perlman and I’m a composer, music director, and multi-instrumentalist based in New York City. My musical The Miraculous Matters of Mr. Mercado’s Fishbowl, written with Mitchell Huntley and Sarah Lina Sparks, was recently named a finalist for the 36th Annual NAMT Festival of New Musicals. I studied composition and clarinet performance at Northwestern University, where I also worked for four years on the Waa-Mu Show, the country’s largest student written musical. To learn more about me and my work, click below for my full bio.

Abandon All Hope: A Musical Comedy

In this uproariously funny theatrical take on Inferno, exiled Florentine poet Dante Alighieri finds himself on a quest through Hell — which is, itself, one big musical theatre production. After he strikes a deal with the devil and takes the reins of Hell in Satan’s stead, things quickly take a turn for the worse, and chaos ensues.

Chamber and Other Concert Works

Samuel regularly writes for a variety of chamber ensembles, and his work has been performed by artists including Third Coast Percussion, Natalie Joachim, and the North Texas Euphonium Quartet.
