Artist History Jerome David Goodman, born in Pennsylvania in 1933, began his musical studies at the age of five. As a teenager, Goodman was a prodigy cellist, and played at Tanglewood under Koussevitzky and in Hancock, Maine as principal soloist under Pierre Monteux. Goodman’s interest in composition grew out of his adolescent experiences and continued through his college years at Swathmore College, where he studied composition under Alfred Swan, and at the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied medicine. Goodman also studied composition at the Juilliard School of Music.In 1960 Goodman began a career as a psychiatrist, but his love of music and his desire to compose remained strong. His compositional technique developed largely from his knowledge of instrumentation and through years of studying scores. He has had a number of his works recorded, and his music has been performed in both Europe and the United States: his Second Piano Sonata was performed at the Carnegie Recital Hall in 1986, and his Violin Concerto received its premiere in Prague in 1996. Goodman’s diverse oeuvre includes two symphonies, a double concerto for clarinet cello, and various orchestral, chamber, and solo piano works. Most recently his "Dance Patterns" for chamber orchestra was premiered by the New York Chamber Symphony in March of 2000 at Alice Tulley Hall in New York with the New York Chamber Symphony under the direction of Gerard Schwarz.
