His solid preparation, resulting from attending the great European schools for Orchestra Conductors, together with his communicative and charismatic personality, make Salomon an important figure both in artistic and didactic circles.

Born in Argentina from italian musician parents, he starts the study of piano at a very young age, continuing with the study of the oboe and composition at the National University of Mendoza, his hometown.

In 1978 he receives from the German Government the prestigious grant "DAAD"(Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst) which permits him to complete his European formation.

In 1981 he obtains the "Konzertexamen" for oboe at the "Hochschule für Musik und Theater" in Hannover. On this occasion the Institute honours his talent by providing him the "Rundfunkorchester Hannover des NDR".

He then moves to Vienna where he starts and completes his studies of Conducting at the "Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst" under Prof. K. Österreicher and J. Kalmar, and follows the specialization Course in German-Opera, at the "Konservatorium der Stadt Wien"(1985).

In Italy he follows the last courses of M° Franco Ferrara (Accademia Chigiana-Siena, Roma and Bisceglie). He then returns to Germany where, he is one of the selected few chosen by M° Sergiu Celibidache for his courses of Conducting Symphonic-Coral and Phenomenology at the "Johannes Gutenberg Universität of Mainz".

He begins his work in Germany, after obtaining through public exam, the position of permanent conductor for 4 years of the "Kammer-Sinfonieorchester" of Celle.

In 1985 Jesús López Cobos, "Generalmusikdirektor" of the Deutscher Oper Berlin, wants him as assistant in a prestigious production of the Wagnerian Tetralogy and in the setting up of the opera "Lulu" by A. Berg and offers him the conducting of "Fidelio" by L.van Beethoven.

From then on he continues to be called as guest conductor by numerous theaters and orchestras in Europe, Asia and South America. To mention some: Orchestra Accademia Teatro alla Scala di Milano, Teatro Solís de Montevideo, Teatro de Santiago de Chile, European Orchestra of London, Orchester und Chor Mainz, Orquestra do Estado de São Paulo, Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra - Sud Corea, Orquesta Sinfónica de San Juan, Orchestra Sinfonica della Radio di Sofia, Orchestra C.S.I. di Lugano, Philharmonic Orchestra di Pyongyang DPKR- Corea, Orchestra Haydn di Bolzano e Trento, Orquesta Sinfónica de Mendoza, Roma Tre Orchestra, Orquesta sinfónica de La Habana, Cuba, ecc.

A powerful temperament and a keen passion for the grand sonority of the mid-19th century and the first half of the 20th century led him, particularly in the early stages of his career, to favour the great German symphonic tradition, ranging from the classical Eroica di Beethoven, to Mahler’s orchestral gigantism, of which we mention a poignant performance of the Adagetto from the V Simphony.

Subsequently, his great sensitivity and an ever-deepening exploration of sound, also as a means of expression capable of telling stories or evoking images and situations, led him to embrace musical genres of a descriptive nature, such as the Symphonic Poem and French Musical Impressionism. Of the highest calibre in these fields, his interpretations of Tchaikovsky’s Francesca da Rimini, Richard Strauss’s Tod und Verklärung, Ravel’s La Valse and Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune.

In recent decades he has also devoted himself with great success to the international operatic repertoire, combining Italian opera – primarily by Verdi and Puccini – with German opera. This enabled him to win, for the 2006/2007 academic year, the competition for the post of lecturer in "Teatro Lirico" as part of the Level II Specialist Diploma Course in Orchestral Conducting at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, where the following year he was also entrusted with teaching the subject "Symphonic Repertoire, Classical and Romantic".

He was subsequently invited by the same Institution to give Masterclasses on German Opera (a.y. 2011/2012), on Richard Wagner (a. y. 2014/2015), on L. van Beethoven’s opera Fidelio (a.y. 2021/2022) and on G. Verdi’s opera Un ballo in maschera (a. y. 2023/2024).

He is regullarly invited to be part of the jury in important International Competions, both of Lyric Singing that Instrument and Orchestra, such as "Giacomo Lauri Volpi - Voci Liriche", "Città di Cantù;" for Piano and Orchestra, and "Valsesia Musica" in the sections Lyric Singing of which he has been Chairman in 2015, Violin and Orchestra of which he has been Chairman (2004, 2006, 2008) and of Piano and Orchestra.

He has been called to serve on the jury of the International Competition "Antonio Pedrotti" for Conducting. In the 2004 edition he was part of distinguished juries in Intitutions such as the "Tschaikowsky Conservatory" of Moscow, the "Manhattan School of Music" of New York, "Palais de Beaux Arts" of Brussels and the "Metropolitan Art Space" of Tokyo.

From 1999 - 2002 we see him Artistic Director of the "Festival Ruggero Leoncavallo" in Brissago-Locarno, where unpublished passages of the composer are performed. Artists such as Luciana Serra and Paula Almerares were guests of the festival.

His didactic worthiness, rewards him with the "High Patronate of the President of the Italian Republic" under whom from 1998-2002 he holds the Advanced Conducting Courses in the "Teatro Sociale" Como. The resonance of these events is such as to arouse the interest of the National Press and also that of the Italian Swiss Television which dedicates to them an entire program.

He holds Masterclasses and Courses in Italy and abroad as in Milan at the Academy of "Teatro alla Scala", at the "Teatro di Cagli" of Pesaro/Urbino, at the "Gheorghe Dima Academy" of Cluj, the Summer Courses of Locarno-Lugano, with Musicfor at Rome, and in Pyongyang - North Korea at the "Kim Won Gyun Conservatory", at the "Isang Yung International Music Academy" and at "The Grand Theater".

For the publishing house "Rugginenti" he is carrying out a careful revision of the entire symphonic work of Franco Ferrara of which the Symphonic Poem "Notte di Tempesta" is already available.

At the end of 2025, he was appointed Musical Director of the restored 18th-century Teatro Sociale di Amelia, and in March 2026 he opened the season with a Grand Opera Gala that was a resounding success.
