Artistic Director
Artistic Director
The appointment of KS Michael Schade O.C. as Artistic Director was highly gratifying for the International Baroque Days for many reasons due to his biography and worldwide network.
The versatile Kammersänger is closely related to the tradition of the venerable festival: the appreciation of the extraordinary genius loci of the world cultural heritage of Melk Abbey, the claim to present musical sensory worlds at the highest level, as well as the heartfelt commitment to the promotion of emerging talents are shaped by his visions.
Michael Schade also has a profound personal relationship with Melk Abbey.
