Paul Salerni’s music has been described by the New York Times as “impressive” and “playful.” Henry Fogel has said “It is…music that sings and dances.” Salerni’s one-act opera Tony Caruso’s Final Broadcast won the NOA’s Chamber Opera competition and its recording appears on Naxos. Two CDs of Salerni’s chamber music and songs (“Touched” and “Speaking of Love”) can be found on Albany Records. His music is published by Presser, Fischer, Alfred, New Music Shelf, and BERBEN. Salerni is the NEH Distinguished Chair in the Humanities and Professor of Music at Lehigh University.
