Concert Summer in Innsbruck

Promenade Concerts at the Imperial Palace

When music fills the courtyard of the Imperial Palace on warm summer evenings, one thing is certain: the Innsbruck Promenade Concerts have returned. Year after year, this impressive Renaissance courtyard in the heart of the city transforms into an atmospheric open-air stage – captivating audiences with a programme that is as diverse as it is top-class.

Until 30 July, music lovers can look forward to daily concerts featuring ensembles from Austria and abroad. Whether classical, traditional, or jazzy – each evening promises a unique musical experience in an extraordinary setting. And the best part: the concerts take place in all weather conditions.

A programme full of colour and musical encounters

The concert line-up is as rich and varied as Innsbruck itself: international orchestras meet top Austrian ensembles, and renowned artists perform alongside exciting newcomers. A particular highlight this year is the concert by the Upper Austrian Jazz Orchestra, which will share the stage with Richard Galliano, the legendary French accordionist – a rare and thrilling meeting of jazz greats with a world-class soloist.

Also featured are groups like the Johann Strauss Ensemble and Christoph Moschberger & da Blechhauf’n, who bring energy, emotion and virtuosity to the stage. In short: the Promenade Concerts offer something new every night – diverse, professional and of the highest quality.

Innsbruck Festival of Early Music – Baroque meets the present

Just days after the Promenade Concerts conclude, Innsbruck hosts its next musical highlight: the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music, taking place from 25 July to 31 August 2025. As one of Europe’s most renowned festivals for baroque music, it offers a rich programme of opera productions, workshop concerts, and open-air performances.
