Salomon Jadassohn received his first musical training in Breslau from Moritz Brosig . His teachers were Moritz Hauptmann at the Leipzig Conservatory from 1848 and Franz Liszt in Weimar from 1849 to 1851 .

After completing his studies, Jadassohn took over the position of conductor of the choir of the Leipzig synagogue . In the late 1860s he conducted the Euterpe Concerts in Leipzig. In 1871 he came to the Conservatory in Leipzig; here he held the position of a teacher of music theory, piano and composition. He enjoyed an excellent reputation as a music teacher. In the 1880s he was the conductor of the Gdansk Concert Society. When he was appointed conductor of the Philharmonic Choir and the orchestra of the Bremen Opera , he succeeded Martin Traugott . He later went back to Leipzig, where he died in 1902.

His compositional work is very diverse. It includes symphonies , serenades for orchestra, overtures , piano concerts , chamber music , piano pieces, choirs , songs as well as vocal duets and sacred works.
