Welcome!
I’m Irena Scalerica — a composer, musicologist, folklorist, and writer.
Do you need music for your next project? Take a look at my Film & Theatre Scores to explore my work for stage and screen.
Are you looking for an original ballet, a children’s play, or a movie script? Visit my Original Works for Production to discover creative projects ready to come to life.
Let’s keep in touch! Feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear from you.
Your music has that rare, unmistakable signature of a true artist — someone who absorbs the sounds, melodies, and cries of life and forges them into a powerful stream of True Art.
It holds both the horror of tragedy and the humor of folk songs, the vastness of open landscapes and the bitter taste of bread, the refinement of aristocratic music intertwined with the simplest of sounds.
But words can only say so much—your music is meant to be heard.
Published in Literary European!
I’m happy to share that my short story The Tale of Vasya the Cat was published in the April 2025 issue of the magazine Literary European.
So lovely to see Vasya finding his readers!
Second Prize for Two Stories
More good news: I received Second Prize in the same competition for two of my short stories—
The Tale of Vasya the Cat and The Owl and the Little Mouse.
I’m so grateful to the jury and happy to see these stories appreciated!
First Prize for My Play!
I’m thrilled to share that my play The Perilous Adventures of Mother Goose won First Prize in the Yury Olesha Literary Competition!
It’s a huge honor—and a very cool one at that!
