Leda Castiglione Benefit Concert at Palazzo Biscari

Date & Time: 12 April 2026, 17:30
Venue: Palazzo Biscari – Via Museo Biscari, 10, Catania, Italy

The Catania chapter of FILDIS presents a piano-and-voice concert inside the historic rooms of Palazzo Biscari. The event combines musical performance, social reflection and fundraising for local and international charities.

Performers and programme

• Leda Castiglione – composer and pianist, author of the music and texts;
• Marzia Catania – soprano, performing the vocal works;
• Alice Ferlito – actor, reciting the poems that introduce the pieces;
• Elisa Maugeri – pianist, participating in a four-hand performance;
• Antonio Famà – host and commentator for the evening.

The programme is divided into two parts: the first addresses pressing social themes (gender-based violence, wars, poverty and migration), while the second moves into a more introspective and emotional territory. Poems by the composer will be interwoven with the music to frame the topics presented.
