Beethoven's Wig
Beethoven once said, "If my music had words it'd be a lot more popular." His wish has come true! Modern day “co-writer” Richard Perlmutter has added lyrics to Beethoven (and Bach, Mozart, et. al) that have propelled the works of the old longhairs to the tops of the charts and introduced them to new audiences everywhere. Kids and families will enjoy the classical music they know with a new twist from Perlmutter, the lead singer, writer, and performer of the 4-time Grammy nominated group Beethoven's Wig.
