Omar Hernández-Hidalgo, 1971-2010

I am stunned and very sad to learn of the death of Omar. Just over a week ago I had the good fortune to hear Omar perform at the Foro de Música Nueva, and as ever, he played superbly, with utmost conviction and captivating musicality.

Omar was a standout member of the Indiana University New Music Ensemble while working on his doctorate. I particularly remember his feature performances of Berio's Chemins II and Benjamin's Viola, Viola, but there were many others as well. His work with and on behalf of living composers will long be remembered through his recordings and through the many compositions written for him.

It was a joy to know and work with Omar. He will be sorely missed.
