Eric Salazar holds a B.M. in Clarinet Performance from Ball State University and an M.M. in Clarinet Performance from Bowling Green State University. He currently serves as Director of Community Engagement and Artist Liaison for Classical Music Indy where he manages, books, and promotes over a hundred and fifty performance events a year in Central Indiana.
Eric says his purpose for writing music is to create art that challenges standards, unites audiences of uncommon backgrounds, and connects souls through creative understanding.
Salazar pioneers the New Classical genre. He takes his classical training and fuses together modern electronics with classical instruments, blending ancient styles with present musical trends. Salazar’s connective approach to performing wins the hearts of audiences as he guides them through explorations of raw emotion. Eric Salazar is a Pereira 3D Artist. He plays on a Pereira 3D printed barrel and bell, and 3D printed ligature.
In this three song session, listen in for contemplative and ambient clarinet compositions, combined with electronic looping of sounds that Salazar gathered throughout the country at beaches and other serene spots.
