Sheldon Harnick (Lyrics) was born and raised in Chicago where he began studying the violin while in grammar school. After
serving in the U.S. Army for three years, he enrolled in the Northwestern University School of Music, and earned a Bachelor of
Music degree in 1949. Though his focus had been the violin, Harnick also developed skills as a writer of comedy sketches, songs
and parody lyrics, and eventually decided to try his luck as a theatrical lyricist in New York City. After a few years were spent
working on other writers' trouble-plagued Broadway-bound musicals, Harnick joined up with composer Jerry Bock to write their
own musicals. While the first Bock & Harnick musical, The Body Beautiful in 1958 showed promise, it was their second musical,
Fiorello! in 1959, that put the team on the map. Their musical biography of New York City's legendary mayor earned the Tony
Award, Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics' Circle Award. In 1964 Bock & Harnick, working with director-choreographer
Jerome Robbins and book writer Joseph Stein, created Fiddler on the Roof, based on Sholom Alecheim's stories and earning the
Tony Award and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award. After Fiddler, the Bock & Harnick collaboration went on to include
such versatile fare as The Apple Tree (1966), which was comprised of three one-act musicals. This was followed by The
Rothschilds in 1970, an epic telling of the founding of the Rothschild banking dynasty. Harnick has provided English-language
librettos for classical operas and oratorios, including works by Stravinsky, Ravel, Mozart, Bach and Verdi. His version of Lehar's
The Merry Widow (1977) was premiered by the San Diego Opera Company. Sheldon Harnick is a member of The Dramatists Guild
and the Songwriters Guild of America. In addition to his Tonys, Pulitzer and Grammys, his many other honors include: The Johnny
Mercer Award presented by the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Marc Blizstein Memorial Award for achievement in the creation of
opera librettos, presented by the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, and Honorary Doctorates of Humane Letters
awarded by Illinois Wesleyan University, and Muskingum College.

Jerry Bock (Music) and Harnick's celebrated collaboration yielded five scores in seven years: The Body Beautiful, Fiorello!
(winner of Broadway's triple crown: The Tony Award, The New York Critics' Circle Award and The Pulitzer Prize in drama, the
fourth musical to do so), Tenderloin, She Loves Me, Fiddler on the Roof, (nine Tonys, notably the citation for best musical of the
year), The Apple Tree and The Rothschilds. Since then, Bock and Harnick were triply honored by being inducted into the Theater
Hall of Fame, receiving the Johnny Mercer Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Spirit of American Creativity Award
from the Foundation for a Creative America. But the "award" that Bock holds near and dear is the honorary Doctor of Humane
Letters degree from the University of Wisconsin. It was there that he met his wife Patti, and it was there that he decided to be a
composer.
