MUSICAL PROPOSAL
International chamber music festival
Every summer, in the magical setting of Como Lake, world-famous musicians gather to create fascinating musical moments. These are not simple concerts, rather well-planned encounters which propose a new and more intimate way of experiencing music while discovering, or re-discovering, locations that become unique natural, historical, or artistic stage sets. At the Festival Musica sull’Acqua some of the most important contemporary Italian and international musicians come together to bring to life through their musical program an unforgettable experience for public and musicians alike.
