The Intercentros Melómano is an initiative of the Orfeo Foundation created in 2002 with the aim of encouraging the participation of students from music conservatories in professional competitions. The idea is to serve as a practical experience for the musicians, who can face an audience and a jury that values their interpretation, not only their technical skills.

The competition is open to all students, regardless of nationality, who are enrolled in any course of any instrumental specialty, including singing, at a conservatory or authorized music center in Spain. The prize is a concert tour for the winner of each category, Professional Grade and Superior Grade.

In its more than twenty years of trajectory, the Intercentros Melómano has, between its two categories, more than 4000 participants, from 85% of the conservatories and authorized music centers in Spain. The winners have given more than 450 concerts as part of the prizes obtained.

The Intercentros Melómano is sponsored by the Auditorio de la Diputación de Alicante (ADDA), the UNIR and Yamaha. AIE Sociedad de Artistas Intérpretes o Ejecutantes and Percufest collaborate in the Final Phase. It is also supported by two ministries: the Ministry of Culture and Sports, through the financial support of the National Institute of Performing Arts and Music (INAEM) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, through the concerts offered to the winners by the Spanish Agency of International Cooperation for Development (AECID), and the magazine Melómano.
