Robert Shaw Biography

An extensive written biography of Robert Shaw is presently being undertaken by Dr. Keith Burris. It is to be published by Hill Street Press of Athens (GA).

Dr. Burris, the Editorial Page Editor of the Journal Inquirer of Manchester (CT), began this massive project in the months after Shaw's death in 1999. He has conducted many hundreds of hours of interviews and studied much of the Shaw archives before they were moved to Yale University, where they are currently housed.

If you would like to contact Dr. Burris with questions about the project or to offer any anecdotal information about your personal involvement as a chorister under Robert Shaw's direction, please contact Dr. Burris at:
