Timeline
Robert Strassburg (August 30, 1915 – October 25, 2003) was a leading American conductor, composer, musicologist and music educator of the twentieth century.
His formal academic studies were completed at the New England Conservatory of Music and Harvard University, where he obtained a fellowship in composition.
He also completed a doctorate in Fine Arts at the University of Judaism in Los Angeles.
As a musicologist, Dr. Strassburg is regarded as a leading authority on the compositions of the composer Ernest Bloch.
Robert Strassburg's contributions to the advancement of music education within the United States of America were far ranging and comprehensive in nature.
An early composition titled Lost was completed as early as 1945 and received critical acclaim.
As music director for various synagogues he expressed a keen interest in Jewish liturgical music and completed several sacred compositions.
Many secular compositions also emerged during the ensuing years including over thirty musical settings of the poetry of Walt Whitman.
After serving as a lecturer at Brooklyn College (1947–1950), he obtained a position as artist in residence at the Brandeis Arts Institute in California (1951–1955).
During his years in Miami, he founded the All-Miami Youth Symphony in 1958, and was conductor until 1961.
Today, it is known as the Greater Miami Youth Symphony and is one of the oldest youth symphonies in continuous existence in Florida.
Additional contributions were made as the Assistant Dean for the School of Fine Arts at the University of Judaism (now the American Jewish University) in Los Angeles (1961–1966).
This culminated in an appointment as professor of Music at the California State University at Los Angeles in 1966.
Strassburg's contributions as a composer were also undertaken during the course of an extended fifty-year period.
In later years, a monumental choral symphony in ten movements was also completed in honor of the poet Walt Whitman titled Leaves of Grass (1992).
He contributed to a variety of film scores as well as incidental music for such theatrical productions as: King Lear, The Rose Tattoo, and Anne of the Thousand Days.
Strassburg is noteworthy as the author of the critically acclaimed biography of Ernest Bloch, Ernest Bloch: Voice in the Wilderness.
