Innsbruck is known as the "Organ Town" and showcases its two most interesting organs every year. The Ebert organ, dating from 1558, and the Italian Renaissance organ are located in the Silver Chapel. They are highlighted in a series of organ concerts running annually between May and September.

The season ends with the International Organ Competition in September.

The concerts first began in 1962.
