Robert Shaw is renowned choral music conductor who won 14 Grammy awards and one of the 1991 Kennedy Center Honors, among many other distinctions. Beginning his career as conductor of the Robert Shaw Chorale in the late 1940s, he later spent 31 years as director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
In his long career, which spanned six decades and four cities, Robert Shaw transformed choral conducting into an art and nearly single-handedly raised its standards to a new level. For more than half a century he set the standard of excellence for choral music, enjoying a status of patriarch of vocal musical interpretation in the USA.
