Who We Are
Supporting Art, Nourishing Culture
Music has the power to transform extraordinary places into unforgettable experiences, to create deep connections and to enrich the cultural fabric of a territory.
Join us as a patron of LacMus Festival and become the protagonist of this unique cultural journey on Lake Como. Your support, of any amount, will help enrich our proposals with excellent musical events, innovative educational projects and cultural initiatives aimed at enhancing the Larian territory.
Through your donation to Ars Aeterna ETS, you will become part of an international community of enthusiasts who share the vision of a project where music, art and territory blend in perfect harmony.
Ars Aeterna ETS Association and Lacmus Festival would like to thank Comune of Tremezzina for their continuous support and commitment.
Musica. Lago. Amore.

From Europe
The TGE network covers 19 countries and enables donors, both corporations and individuals, resident in one of the participating countries, to financially support non-profit organisations in other Member States, while benefiting directly from the tax advantages provided for in the legislation of their country of residence.
By providing such a secure and tax-effective cross-border giving framework, TGE is particularly interesting for national organisations with prospective donors abroad: this network enables organisations to extend fundraising to foreign countries, without having to set up branches or sister organisations for that sole purpose and without having to master different national laws.
From the USA (American Friends)
American Friends of LacMus Festival (AFLF) is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the LacMus Festival. Founded in 2019 by the American Patrons of LacMus Festival, its mission is to ensure that the festival continues to offer world-class artistic programming, the highest standards of performance, and opportunities for young musicians to share the stage with the great masters of the classical music world.
AFLF also serves as the liaison between the LacMus Festival and American Friends and Patrons. It brings together classical music lovers from across America and the world to enjoy music, the arts, history, culture, tradition, and friendship in one of the world’s most enchanting settings.
