Here’s a music video taste of what you can expect if you are in Stresa on the shores of lovely Lake Maggiore in Italy for the 2014 edition of the Stresa Midsummer Jazz concerts.
The jazz concerts begin on Thursday, July 24, and run until to Sunday, July 27.
Here’s jazz pianist Uri Caine playing at last year’s Stresa jazz festival with Lake Maggiore as his backdrop:

Stop reading, start speaking
Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.
A complete list of concerts and who will be playing can be found here: Stresa Midsummer Jazz concerts – Calendar 2014
If you can’t make it to the July jazz concerts, there are the Musical Meditations and Music on the move concerts from Tuesday August 19 to Saturday September 6.
