Internationally celebrated as the "Voice of Sicily," Etta Scollo has garnered acclaim with her musical-literary evenings, including at the Literature House. In a bookstore in Catania, she stumbled upon a collection of texts by Mascha Kaléko (1907-1975) - the tenderly melancholic yet politically sharp poems immediately captivated the singer and musician. These texts, imbued with the experience of exile, serve as poetic invocations of humanity - and remain highly relevant in our times. "To love, I chose as my homeland," wrote Mascha Kaléko in her text "The Early Years"; under this title, Etta Scollo presents a program that will officially premiere in January 2025 (on Kaléko's 50th death anniversary). We are treated to a preview today, hearing excerpts from the "Lyrical Stenogram Notebook" and other famous texts - masterfully set to music.
