COMPOSER’S BIOGRAPHY
Composer Bonia Shur is a major musical force in the Reform Jewish movement in America. He has more than 300 published compositions in use in synagogues and on stage across the country and abroad. He has also taught hundreds of rabbinical students since his appointment in 1974 as Director of Liturgical Arts at Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion, Cincinnati.
Bonia Shur is a versatile composer. In addition to his vast liturgical repertoire, he has written for theatre, television and film. In 1966 he collaborated with Johnny Mandel on the vocal score to the motion picture "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming." In 1968 he received a National Television Academy Award for his music to the TV special, "Revolt in Mode'in.
His orchestral music was played by the Israeli Radio Orchestra, Minneapolis Chamber Symphony and Cincinnati Chamber symphony. His choral works were performed and recorded among others by The Sarasota Chorale Symphonic Chorus, The Nova Singers of Florida, Oshkosh Chamber Singers, " The Rinat Choir of Israel," Chicago Children’s' Choir.
In the last few years he composed nine major commissioned works which were premiered in Washington D.C., New York, Philadelphia, Sacramento, Seattle, Tinton Falls, NY, Cincinnati and Appleton, WI. Since 1960 he has written music for the dance works of Choreographer Fanchon Shur, his collaborator and wife.
Mr. Shur's music is vibrant, dynamic, and highly individual. He has an extremely diverse background: he was born in Latvia, escaped the Nazi invasion, fought in the Russian Army, immigrated to Israel, and lived on kibbutz for many years before coming to the United States in 1960.
His personality and his music integrate and reflect the many diverse cultural heritages in which he has lived.
