For Dr. John Salamon, music has always been part of life.
Growing up with parents who both played in community orchestras, learning an instrument simply felt like the natural thing to do.
Bring the family along to the beautiful Marnkutyi Parirna Theatre at Trinity College Gawler and enjoy an afternoon filled with exciting, vibrant and expressive melodies performed by ensembles from AdYO and Trinity College.
Ever since childhood, music just seemed to be deeply rooted in Sami’s life. He had parents and a sister who all played string instruments, an auntie who was a pianist, and many friends discovering a love of music. With all of that influence, he naturally started playing the violin from a very young age. After years of dedication developing his musical talent, he is now inspiring the next generation of percussionists as a member of the artistic team with AdYO.
