The latest edition of the Stresa Festival (Settimane Musicali di Stresa e del Lago Maggiore) is just round the corner, and the 24 exclusive concerts will, as usual, take us into some wonderful sites around Lake Maggiore. This 54rd Festival opens with the fourth edition of the Midsummer Jazz Concerts, a mini-program of jazz on Lake Maggiore. It will be held at the Lungolago La Palazzola over the weekend from 22 to 26 July. This magnificent stretch of the lakeside in Stresa combines the beauties of the landscape and the Borromeo Islands, and is a wonderful open-air setting for the six exciting events for lovers of jazz and musical improvisation.
