Arte Solidale Festival is an international classical music festival and charity, which takes place every year in the area of Lake Como, Italy.
The concerts, set during springtime each year, take place in historical villas and palaces on the shores of Lake Como, where composers like Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms used to spend time and compose, inspired by the amazing landscapes. Multiple themed concerts, including solo recitals, chamber music and orchestral music concerts, are presented to the audience. Every year the Festival presents events dedicated to families with children, as well.

As per every year, the Festival will collect funds for minors in need, collaborating with local social organizations such as Coordinamento Comasco and Cooperativa Azalea (Tremezzina). All the artists and musicians involved in the Festival share the principle of supporting children as they deeply understand the need of a stable social environment during childhood.
This year the Festival runs the crowdfunding project Un aiuto per crescere, in help of the Coordinamento Comasco.

The opening concert of the Festival will take place in the gorgeous Sala Bianca of the Teatro Sociale in Como, and will feature young soloists at the piano together with the "Crescendo" Youth Orchestra: a concert for everyone, from adults to children and families.
