Contact E-Mail Tom@salvatoriproductions.Com Tom Salvatori Composes A Deeply Personal And Intimate Style Of Instrumental Classical Guitar Music Which Is Quiet And Soothing And Helps People Relax At The End Of The Day. Adults And Children Both Listen To And Enjoy His Music During Their Quiet Time Or While They Fall Asleep At Night. Most Of Salvatori's Music Comes Out Sounding Like Quiet Lullabies Probably Because His Favorite Time To Play And To Compose Is At Night When His Kids Are Going To Bed! Tom Was A First Place Winner Of The Illinois Music Association Senior Open In 1973 As A First Time Entry In The Classical Guitar Competition At The Age Of 15 Under The Watchful Eye Of His Music Teacher Duane Tutaj Addison IL. Salvatori Exhibited A Mature Strength In Restraint In His Memorable Performance Of The Villa Lobos Set Piece Prelude #3 In Am. Tom Briefly Continued Studies While In College At Marquette University With Ray Mueller Milwaukee Classical Guitar Society Milwaukee WI. Since College Tom Has Chosen A Career Path Of Composing His Own Uniquely Styled Works For The Contemporary Classical Guitar Rather Than One Of Stage Performance And Study Of The Works Of The Masters. Recently Published By Les Production D’Oz CANADA Salvatori Hopes To Share His Sheet Music Book Of Eleven Classical Guitar Solos With Guitarists After They Come Home From Playing Their Concerts “I Don’t Aim To Compete With The Masters And Their Virtuoso Efforts From The Concert Stage. Rather I’d Love For My Work To Be Thought Of As A Resource For Quiet Enjoyment…a Respite For The End Of A Busy Day. I Would Be Most Fulfilled As A Composer If My Work Could Be Enjoyed In An Intimate One-On-One Relationship With Other Players…at Home Late At Night When They Decide To Reach For Just The Right Piece To Help Them And Their Loved Ones Relax.” Salvatori's CDs Are Currently Released Independently Thorough His Own Record Label Salvatori Productions Inc.
