MARIUCCIA SUTTI

Mariuccia lives in Piacenza where she teaches disabled children in a Scuola Media (middle school). She has always sung and played her songs as a hobby, together with her friends who share the same religious faith. However, for the last few years she has realized this innate capacity could become an important “service”, equal to other services, to enrich and raise awareness (to everybody not only to her friends) of the importance of the religious aspects of life. Her musical offering is not to be considered “doctrine”, but rather an interpretation of various existential themes, tied to daily life, from which a message of hope and a positive view of life arise. Her songs also touch on the most current “provocations” connected with every form of social issues, using a simple language and symbolism, at times inspired by fables and nature. She has released 3 albums: “Più di un passero”(More than a Sparrow), “Quando nascerò”(When I will be born), “Cose che non si vedono”(Things that are unseen), as well as another which is almost completed and due for release in Spring 2001. Her music is also included in many compilations. She has worked with publishers such as Morning Star, Rugginenti, and LDC. She has participated in festivals and national/international meetings centered on Christian music, including many concerts of “Il mio Dio canta giovane” (My God Sings Young), the national festival of Christian Artists’ “Il nostro canto libero” (Our Free Song) in1991, the Multifestival “Magnificat” in ’95, the youth rally in Pompeii in 1997, the International Youth Meeting in Schio (province of Vicenza) in 1999, the JMJ in Paris in 1997, and the GMG-2000. Her musical style varies between contemporary, melodic rock, folk, and Latino-American.
