Vasilis Saleas (Greek: Βασίλης Σαλέας) is one of the best clarinetists of Greece.
A former accompanist for Mikis Theodorakis, Dionisis Savopoulos, and Stamatis Spanoudakis, Saleas has worked with Greek new age instrumentalist and composer Vangelis Papathanasiou since the early '90s. His debut solo album, Orama: The Music of Vangelis, featured interpretations of Vangelis' compositions.
Saleas moved to Athens a year after he was born. He was 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.
