据扬子晚报，美国巴德学院的中国音乐指挥李梳曈近日在路边换轮胎时，被一辆超速行驶的汽车撞倒，在医院经抢救无效去世。李梳曈的家人近日为其举办了告别仪式。
A 35-year-old conducting teacher at Bard College was killed on Feb 11 after exiting his broken-down car on the Taconic State Parkway, according to a statement from the New York State Police.
Li Shutong was struck by a passing truck while outside of his vehicle, which was "partially parked on the shoulder" in Clinton at mile marker 59, the police said.
He was transported to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital with serious injuries and later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased.

巴德学院校长里昂·波茨坦因（Leon Botstein）在悼词中高度评价李梳曈：“梳曈是学院不可或缺的一员：一位杰出的音乐家、敬业的教师、慈爱的丈夫和父亲，以及好朋友。我们特别为他感到骄傲——他是我们自己的毕业生，毕业后立即被美中音乐学院聘用，领导巴德民族室内乐团……通过他的音乐才华、巨大能量和不懈奉献，他彻底改变了这个乐团，并提升了它的地位。”
Bard president Leon Botstein said: "Shutong was an essential member of the Conservatory; a wonderful musician, a dedicated teacher, a loving husband and father, and a good friend. …Through his musicianship, enormous energy, and unflagging dedication, Shutong transformed the Chinese Ensemble and raised its profile in our community."
李梳曈1990年出生于内蒙古鄂尔多斯市，早年主修工程专业，但自幼热爱音乐。毕业后，他转向音乐领域发展，并于2013年到美国新墨西哥大学深造，获得音乐学士学位。
2019年，他进入巴德学院音乐学院攻读指挥专业研究生课程。该学院被认为是美国顶尖音乐学府之一。2021年毕业后，他随即受聘于巴德学院美中音乐学院，担任助理指挥，负责巴德民族室内乐团的指挥，并在一年后升任音乐总监。该乐团以融合中西乐器演绎中国音乐而广受关注。
According to the Bard College website, Li Shutong was born in 1990 in Ordos in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region. He initially studied engineering but had a lifelong passion for music. After graduation, he shifted his focus to music and went to the University of New Mexico in the United States in 2013, where he earned a bachelor's degree in music.
In 2019, he enrolled in the graduate program in conducting at the Bard College Conservatory of Music, one of the top music conservatories in the United States. After graduating in 2021, he was immediately hired by the Bard College US-China Music Institute as an assistant conductor, responsible for directing the Bard Chinese Ensemble. A year later, he was promoted to music director.
The ensemble is renowned for blending Chinese and Western instruments to perform Chinese music.
李梳曈还创立了“音乐家为音乐家”乐团，并曾担任阿尔伯克基交响乐团及新墨西哥大学健康科学中心乐团的首席指挥。
在美国音乐界看来，他是推动中美音乐交流的重要青年代表人物。凭借卓越的音乐才华、充沛的艺术热情和持续投入的努力，他显著提升了巴德民族室内乐团的影响力与艺术水准，为促进中美音乐文化的深入交流作出了积极贡献。
