Dr. Laurence Sherr is recognized for his uniquely interconnected work on music related to the Holocaust, uniting his activities as a composer of remembrance music, researcher, lecturer, producer of remembrance events, and educator. He has presented this work in the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, England, Norway, San Marino, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, and across the United States. He designs events that feature remembrance music enriched by stories of Holocaust-era creators and concurrent musical developments. A prime example is his Music of Resistance and Survival project, which features his cello sonata, Holocaust songs of resistance and survival woven into the sonata, his presentation about the originators of these source songs, age-appropriate student educational performances, and online pedagogical resources. He has produced this concert on four continents since its 2015 inception. The poetry of Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate Nelly Sachs is highlighted in his compositions Fugitive Footsteps for baritone and chorus and Flame Language for mezzo-soprano or baritone with chamber orchestra or chamber ensemble. His events in Germany, produced in collaboration with the children of the generation who persecuted his mother’s family, led to reconciliation and healing. As an educator, he developed the university global-citizenship course Music and the Holocaust. Through all this work, his purpose is to foster greater understanding and tolerance.
