Summary: |
Salama was born and reared in Russia and was a member of the Chauve-Souris, a Russian musical group which performed throughout Europe. Sometime in the 1920s he immigrated to the U.S. where he settled in New York City and worked as a musical arranger, performer and teacher. His country home near the Delaware Water Gap in New Jersey became a gathering place for Russian emigres. The papers include sheet music, musical arrangements by Salama of Russian and other folk and classical music, notes, uncataloged photographs, and an audiocassette. |
