I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the current state of affairs at the Kennedy Center. Attached is a photo of Nick Vanoff and me at what used to be my home in Sundance, Utah. As many may recall, Nick Vanoff, alongside George Stevens Jr., was instrumental in creating the iconic Kennedy Center Honors, with the first Gala produced in 1978.
Since the production rights were sold to the Kennedy Center after the 2014 awards, and as of today there has been a noticeable shift in how things are managed. I strongly believe that as long as Trump and those who share his views are running the Center, both it and its Honors should be completely deserted and ignored. Their leadership is a blatant insult to the arts community.
It brings to mind Kennedy Center Honoree Cher’s monologue in "The Witches of Eastwick" when considering who is currently pulling the strings at such a prestigious institution.
I urge all who value true artistry and integrity to reconsider their support until meaningful changes are implemented.

und alle interessierten Freunde der Wahrheit, es ist an der Zeit, Klartext zu sprechen. Inmitten des Internets und des Chaos um Caterina Valente sowie unserer anderen Web- und Facebook-Seiten stehen wir vor Herausforderungen, die nicht länger ignoriert werden können. Die neuen Bedingungen von Facebook sind inakzeptabel, da sie sich mit den faschistischen Ideen der neuen USA-Regierung verbinden und Hand in Hand gehen. Aus diesem Grund haben wir beschlossen, das Metaverse zu verlassen.

Wie ihr alle wisst, hat sich Caterina Valente nie öffentlich politisch positioniert. Doch ihre Erlebnisse aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zeigen eindeutig ihre politische Haltung. Ihre soziale Stellungnahme durch ihre gesamte Karriere hindurch zeigt klar und deutlich ihr soziales Engagement, ohne sich einer politischen Partei anzuschließen.

Es ist offensichtlich, dass die heutigen sozialen Medien die Politik für ihre Vorteile nutzen. Mit diesen neuen Kooperationen sind wir – auch im Namen von Caterina Valente – nicht einverstanden. Dennoch sind diese Plattformen derzeit die einflussreichsten. Wie man sagt: Halte deine Freunde nah und deine Feinde näher. In diesem Sinne haben wir beschlossen, solange keine besseren Alternativen vorhanden sind, im Metaverse zu bleiben. Man muss leider mit den gleichen Waffen wie der Gegner spielen.

Mit Chat GPT und AI wird es zunehmend schwieriger sein, die Essenz der Person und Künstlerin Caterina Valente zu verteidigen. Denn sogenannte Fans und Pressevertreter haben ein Bild von Caterina Valente kreiert, das nichts weiter als eine reine Fiktion ihrer Fantasie ist. Der Nachlass von Caterina Valente ist einzigartig daran interessiert, das künstlerische Erbe zu schützen und zu fördern – ohne Interesse an Berühmtheit oder dem Image, das durch Presse oder Fans entstanden ist.

‼️In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, maintaining a genuine presence in the metaverse has become more crucial than ever for preserving the integrity and authenticity of our brand. Contrary to previous announcements, we find it necessary to keep our presence active on various platforms due to unauthorized appropriation of our brand and artist names on social sites like Facebook and Spotify.

We have reinstated Eraki Entertainment and Eric van Aro’s official Facebook sites, which, like Caterina Valente’s official page, proudly bear a blue tick. This badge was not financially acquired but earned through genuine recognition of their esteemed status within the entertainment industry. We also want to emphasize that "Caterina Valente" is a registered trademark owned by her estate, and any misuse will be subject to legal action.

While some changes in the metaverse may not align with our core values, maintaining an official presence is imperative to uphold the true status of Eric van Aro and especially Caterina Valente. It allows us to continue engaging with the press, fans, and other stakeholders effectively. In this way, we ensure that accurate information about our company continues to reach those who matter most!!!

I couldn't help but notice a recurring theme at this year's Grammy Awards. It's commendable how the winners took the time to acknowledge various pressing issues affecting our world. Their speeches highlighted important causes, bringing much-needed attention to them.

However, it seems that when it comes down to selecting the actual awardees, the accolades often go to those who have mastered the art of using certain audio plugins. It raises questions about whether artistic merit or technical proficiency with these tools is being prioritized.

This trend suggests a shift in focus that might not entirely align with celebrating true musical talent and creativity.

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share something close to my heart that you might not be aware of. Los Angeles was a city deeply cherished by Caterina, holding a special place in her heart. Many of her closest friends, both personally and professionally, called LA home. Although I won't list them all, they were numerous and belonged to her generation.

On a personal note, I still have dear friends in LA who thankfully are doing okay. Recently, from here in Switzerland, I watched the FireAid Concert online. It was an emotional experience; some performances brought tears to my eyes—particularly those by Pink and Sting.

LA has been an integral part of my life and my family's life for many years. In support of the community and wildlife affected by recent events in California, I've contributed to various organizations working on the ground there.

However, it's crucial to remember that many other catastrophes around the world are also causing immense suffering. In memory of Caterina, donations have been made to SOS Children's Villages as well. It's urgent that we come together as people and work beyond political divides during these trying times.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.
Eric
