Berkeley Composer Jorge Liderman an Apparent Suicide

Jorge Liderman

 

 

 

 

It was a big shock to open the paper this morning and read that Berkeley composer Jorge Liderman apparently jumped in front of a BART train Sunday.

I was hoping to see him tonight at the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players concert with the world premier of his Furthermore... for violinist Carla Kihlstedt. 

I'd met Jorge a number of times, and had him on my KPFA radio program many years ago when he first arrived at the UC Berkeley music department. And I've featured his music on Music From Other Minds on KALW. 

This is a terrible shock.  He was 50 years old.
