About Basilis Saleas

Vassilis Saleas (Βασίλης Σαλέας) is a Greek clarinettist. A former accompanist for Mikis Theodorakis (Μίκης Θεοδωράκης), Dionisis Savvopoulos (Διονύσης Σαββόπουλος), and Stamatis Spanoudakis (Σταμάτης Σπανουδάκης), Saleas has worked with Greek new age instrumentalist and composer Vangelis Papathanassiou since the early '90s. His debut solo album, Orama: The Music of Vangelis, featured interpretations of Vangelis' compositions. His second solo album, Vasilios Saleas, followed in 2000. Born in Messolonghi in 1958, Saleas moved to Athens the following year. Taught to play the clarinet at the age of nine by his father and uncle, he performed his first club concert two years later. By the age of 14 he had mastered the clarinet and recorded his first disc.
