The competition is organised by the Bach-Archiv in Leipzig.

Famous artists give master classes in preparation of the Competition.

The Christa Bach-Marschall Foundation awards a special price during the International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition: a stipend for young musicians to take part in a master class. The decision about the award is made by the jury of the competition.

Every year, the Bach Festival invites young musicians who have successfully participated in music competitions.
