Jorge Liderman, a prominent San Francisco area composer and a professor in the music department at UC Berkeley, was struck by a Richmond-bound train at Monday, February 4, 2008 9:42 a.m. in what appeared to be a suicide. Liderman was a fixture on the Bay Area's classical music scene since joining the Berkeley faculty in 1989. His music - full of melody, rhythmically vital and scored with a keen ear for instrumental color - was performed regularly both here and abroad, and his discography included almost a dozen CDs.
