 On the 23rd of February 2019, I will be offering my concert to Alex, the 10 years old son of my friend Ella. All the proceeds from the tickets sale will be donated to his cause.
Alex has become seriously ill with a brain inflammation after a bacterial infection. It is a rare condition called PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder after Streptoccocal infection), which the NHS doesn't treat and money is being raised for private treatment. The event will take place at The White House Palace in London, home of Prince John Zylinski, who will be the host of the event. Info here

 #lettialbar incontra Antimo Magnotta, pianista della Costa Concordia, nel settimo anniversario del naufragio, in un reading musicale e confronto col pubblico, partendo dal libro “Sette squilli brevi e uno lungo”, edito da #Spring.
Lo presenteranno Alda Della Selva e Paolo Russo. Saluti di Roberto Mannella, presidente Rotary Caserta Reggia e Luigi Ferraiuolo, curatore #lettialbar. Magnotta è ora il pianista residente del Victoria and Albert Museum a Londra Antimo ha una grafia piena e robusta, quasi ad affermare "ci sono, sono vivo". E dice grazie all'ironia che il padre gli ha messo sulla bocca, corazza che protegge e salva. Antimo ha tante Storie nel cappello magico dei ricordi. E Marica e Paul e Jennifer e Dannis e Ivan compaiono e scompaiono tra le luci di una chiara notte di stelle, in mezzo al mare. Poi, all'improvviso, sono lì, sulla sedia ad ascoltare. Antimo, ha, soprattutto, il suo pianoforte. E la Musica che racconta il non detto del libro. E lo fa con pudore, rispetto. In punta di piedi. Colma i vuoti. Antimo è un viaggiatore, un cantastorie, il sopravvissuto. Una bellissima Storia, la sua. Alda Della Selva "Sette squilli brevi e uno lungo" Autore: Antimo Magnotta ISBN: 9788897033363 Edizioni Spring Saletta interna Gran Caffé Margherita Piazza Dante Caserta Domenica 13 gennaio - ore 17.30  Macbeth at the Barbican Centre, London.
A superb performance and magnificent contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy. A Polly Findlay production.  Honoured to have attended and performed at the White House in Ealing, London, for the Global Kidney Foundation.
An amazing event, beautifully organized by Ella Vine at the White House, the residency of Prince Yanek Zylinski, for a very noble cause.  and the beat goes on...
A memorable evening at the Saffron House, a converted loft above the canal in an old Spice Warehouse, between Shoreditch and Dalston. My audience was sitting around me, I could feel their breath. Unforgettable, intimate, deep. There are moment in my life when I truly think I'm living in a dream. One of my favorite and heartfelt performances ever. My spirit was high my heart was warm. Thank you to Claude Basset for these stunning photos © Basset 2018  A memorable event.
