Jack Lenz is a Canadian composer. He has written, performed, and produced music for film, television, and theatre,〔(Official Website Bio )〕 along with working on non-soundtrack album ventures.〔(Cherry Lane Music Publishing, Film and TV Composers, Jack Lenz )〕〔(Socan, Archived News 2004, Jack Lenz )〕 He is also the founder of Live Unity Enterprises, an organization devoted to the production of music for the Bahá'í community, and dramatic and musical resources to help promote its teachings.〔(LiveUnity.com Official Website )〕 For example, Lenz wrote the music for the ''Expectation'' opening music for the second Bahá'í World Congress in 1992 with an audience of tens of thousands of Bahá'ís from around the world.〔(Music for the Second Bahá'í World Congress )〕
Lenz became well known in the United States after working on the score for Mel Gibson's film ''The Passion of the Christ''. Among his current projects is working on a movie about the persecution of Bahá'ís in Iran, particularly the story of Mona Mahmudnizhad who suffered under the persecution in Iran,〔(Mona's Message )〕 under the title of Mona's Dream.〔(Mona's Dream )〕〔Note Mona Mahmudnizhad's story is also the subject of other art works: music artist Doug Cameron's popular song ("Mona with the Children" ) which made the top of the pop charts (#14 for the week of October 19, 1985) according to "Pop Annual 1955-1999: Sixth Edition" ("Pop Annual 1955-1999: Sixth Edition" for October, 1985 ) and as a play (''A Dress for Mona'' ).〕
He resides in Toronto, Ontario.
==Background==
Lenz was born in Eston, Saskatchewan. His mother was also raised in Saskatchewan, and his father came to Canada from Hungary during the Depression. Still in his youth Lenz took piano lessons from Garth Beckett and later studied composition at the University of Saskatchewan.〔(Millennnium Arts Society ) - Jack Lenz in conversation with Joseph Lerner〕 Lenz became a professional musician when he played keyboards and flute for the soft-rock bands Seals and Crofts and Loggins and Messina touring around the world, performing before large audiences, and recording.〔(Bahá'í Community of Canada, Canadian Bahá'ís > In the News > Jack Lenz )〕 Lenz' involvement in children's issues stems partly from having seven children of his own, as well as being an arena which avoids "the conflict between what I believe about music and its sacred nature and dealing with what a lot of programming deals with, which sometimes could be the worst aspects of human nature."〔 Lenz joined the Bahá'í Faith in 1969.〔
