Born in Latvia, Shur came to his interest in music naturally. Both his father and brother were professional con- ductors and musicians, and he studied music at home throughout childhood, with his father as teacher. Just out of high school, he travelled to Munich, where he enrolled in the Kunst Akademie, then to Israel, stu- dying for several years under Paul Ben-Haim, who was, at the time, the leading sym- phonic composer in Israel. While still in Israel, Shur began to make his name in music, receiving the Nissimof Prize in 1952 in nation-wide competition for best choral composition. A year later, he was commissioned to compose the score for Dor Dor Ve'Yor- shav, a two-hour pageant presented by the Israeli Broadcasting orchestra,- choir, ballet company, actors and soloists. Eventually, Shur came to the United States to study 'composition, orchestration and conducting at UCLA. Shortly after his arrival in this country, he wrote the music to Each Had Six Wings, an Israeli play which debuted in Hollywood in 1962, and in 1966, he collaborated with composer Johnny Mandel on music for the hit.movie, The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming. "That was a very nice ex- perience," said Shur. "I came to the movie rather late, and (producer-director) Norman Jewison, after hearing the choir I'd rehearsed, said `Where were you before? You are better than all my Rus- sian advisers!' " In addition to his extensive work in liturgical music, Shur often composes dance scores for choreographer Fanchon Shur, his wife, and the two collaborate on musical pieces also, said Shur. Of their four children, three are profes-_ Because of a hectic schedule, Shur could not be present at the performance of the special cantata. Chances are, he would have been greatly pleased, however. Presented to more than 500 members of the congregation, the cantata in honor of Rabbi Wine (performed by a choir which included several members of the Michigan Opera Theatre) received a standing ovation at its conclusion. - "When I heard it the first time, I was overwhelmed," said Rabbi Wine after the per- formance. "I felt a sense of ge- nuine excitement and fulfill- ment at hearing my words transferred to music. I feel like the work has taken on a new dimension!' The presentation was a highlight of the first of 20 events which will be held this year to celebrate Birm- ingham Temple's 25th an- niversary. ❑ GOING PLACES Continued from preceding page AMERICAN ARTISTS SERIES Kingswood Cranbrook Auditorium, 500 Lone Pine, Bloomfield Hills, Douglass Campbell one- man show Shakespeare by Request, Sunday, admission. 851-5044 or 647-2230.
