The promotion of young talents has been a central concern of the ›Internationale Barocktage Stift Melk‹ festival from the very beginning. In 1993 Prof. Helmut Pilss, the founder of the festival, established the >International Johann Heinrich Schmelzer< competition to offer a platform to aspiring musicians. Michael Schade, who has been an avid advocate for young talented musicians for years, continued to develop the programme ever since he was named artistic director. He was able to enlist the Schelhammer Capital Bank as a patron of the competition. In 2024 the >International Johann Heinrich Schmelzer< compition was held for the 11th time as part of the ›Internationale Barocktage Stift Melk< festival.
