عازف الكمان الفلسطيني اللبناني، الفنان ماهر سلامة، شاب طموح استطاع في فترة زمنية محدودة، الارتقاء بفنه وموسيقاه الى مصافي الكبار، حيث عمل بابداع على مزج الموسيقى الشرقية الكلاسيكية التي تنبض بها احاسيسه بالموسيقى الغربية الراقية فانتج لوناً موسيقياً خاصاً يؤالف بين اقطار الارض المتباعدة.
تناغم مع آلة الكمان حتى عشقته بدورها، فتجلى هذا التناغم ابداعاً يأسر الحواس ويتفاعل مع المشاعر، صقل موهبته بالعلم ولم يتقيد بنوع محدد من الموسيقى حتى ابدع ودخل عالم الموسيقى من بابه الواسع، فتراه اليوم على خشبات اكبر المسارح الموسيقية في العالم، لينقل رسالة حضارية من شعب لبنان الى باقي شعوب العالم.
