courtyard of the Imperial Palace, the atmosphere of eager ex-
citement turns into high attention. The wonderfully balmy evening
can be experienced again and again: Around 1500 musicians present
300 works on 26 evenings, which are unique throughout Europe. It is
one of the continent’s most famous events bringing fascinating mu-
sic to the city of Innsbruck. “Proof of the importance of Innsbruck’s
promenade concerts is the fact that countries like Germany, Belgium,
France, Switzerland and Slovenia send their best orchestras to us,”
THE DRAMATURGY OF A SUMMER NIGHT
33 performances by some 1500 musicians
from nine European countries on 26 evenings.
Now in its 22nd year, the Innsbruck Promenade Concerts will bring to town a host of prestigious orchestras,
marching bands, ensembles and choirs from July 04 to 31, 2016.
The promenade concerts pursue
their own dramaturgy
creating a musical arc of tension
that completely captures the audience.
