SALVADOR ALAN JACOBO

 

SALVADOR ALAN JACOBO (b. 1997) has composed music for an array of musical settings from wind ensembles to brass ensembles to marching bands and everything in between. He accredits his mentors Benjamin Fairfield, John Mackey, and Mark Dal Porto as being pivotal to his progressive success as a composer, conductor, and performer.

Salvador has been recognized as a winner of the Lesbian and Gay Big Apple Corps Composition Competition and the Dallas Winds Brass Fanfare Competition. He has also guest conducted for various public school bands such as the Portales Junior High Band, the Portales High School Band, and the 30th Biennial Eastern New Mexico University Alumni Band.

When leisure outweighs his typical obligations of composition, Salvador invests his time in musical memes, Twitter escapades, or playing Mortal Kombat. It is not uncommon to find him laughing hysterically at the most esoteric of musical memes that the internet, or he, can produce.

Salvador is a brother of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity (Theta-Zeta Chapter) and a member of BMI.
