Intercentros Melómano is an initiative by the Fundación Orfeo, created in 2002 to encourage active participation of music conservatory students in professional-level competitions. The aim is to provide practical experience for musicians, enabling them to perform before an audience and a jury that evaluates their interpretation, not just technical skill.

All students, regardless of nationality, enrolled in any course of any instrumental specialty—including voice—at any music conservatory or authorized center in Spain may participate. The prize for the winner of each category—Professional Grade and Higher Grade—is a concert tour.

Over its more than twenty years, Intercentros Melómano has brought together over 4,500 participants from 90% of Spain's conservatories and authorized music centers. Winners have performed over 500 concerts as part of their awarded prizes.

Intercentros Melómano is sponsored by the Auditorium of the Provincial Council of Alicante (ADDA), Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR), and Yamaha. The Ministry of Culture, through the National Institute of Performing Arts and Music (INAEM), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, via the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), and the magazine Melómano are also collaborators. AIE (Society of Performers and Artists) and Percufest support the organization of this Final Stage.
