The Carl Orff Foundation is a non-profit public foundation under civil law whose purpose is to preserve the artistic and educational work of the composer and music educator Carl Orff (1895-1982). The foundation goes back to Orff's testamentary disposition and was established on May 17, 1984. The foundation is based in Dießen am Ammersee, where Orff lived from 1955 until his death..[1]
History
The Foundation is the legal successor of Carl Orff and preserves his artistic and pedagogical estate. As the owner of the estate, it gave it to the Orff Center Munich on permanent loan, except for the handwritten scores, which are kept in the Bavarian State Library[2]. The foundation preserves and disseminates Carl Orff's intellectual and artistic legacy "in particular by
- The securing of original artefacts from the inventory of the artistic estate which will not be put up for sale
- The promotion of academic research into the works of Carl Orff
- Encouragement for the public understanding for the universal oeuvre of Carl Orff and support for its dissemination."[3]
Board of directors Liselotte Orff (* September 7 1930 in Munich; † September 19 2012 in Murnau am Staffelsee, the composer's widow, had been appointed by her husband in his will to the board of directors of the foundation for life and exercised this function for almost 24 years.[4] She was particularly committed to the dissemination of Carl Orff's music-dramatic oeuvre and the Orff-Schulwerk throughout the world. Liselotte Orff was appointed honorary chair in 2008[5][6], when she handed over the chair to composer and Orff student Wilfried Hiller. In addition to Prof. Hiller, the board currently includes Axel Linstädt, former head of the music department at Bayerischer Rundfunk, head of the BR-Klassik program division, and longtime artistic director of the Internationaler Musikwettbewerb der ARD (as executive board member) and Rainer Kotzian, professor of Elemental Music Education and vice president at the Hochschule für Musik Nürnberg (responsible board member for all topics related to the Orff-Schulwerk).
Secretary General of the foundation is Judith Janowski[7].

Cooperation with other institutions
The Foundation fulfills its tasks in close cooperation with the Orff-Zentrum München, which, as the State Institute for Research and Documentation of the Freistaat Bayern, plays a prominent role in the care of the archive and the promotion of the musicological examination of life and work. The tasks of the Orff Center include, above all, the care of the estate of Carl Orff, the scientific research of his work and his biography, the issuing of publications and the organization of events (concerts, lectures, symposia and exhibitions). The Orff Center is an information center for music and theater practice as well as for the media.
There is also close cooperation with the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, with which the foundation has concluded a depository agreement for all autographs of Orff's stage works (with the exception of Die Kluge).
The foundation fulfills its tasks in close cooperation with the Orff Institute of the Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg, which was founded by Carl Orff in 1961. Since then, many music and dance educators have been trained there, spreading Orff's ideas and musical-artistic approach.
Activities
The Carl Orff Foundation's mission is to fully reflect Orff's versatility in its activities. "Carl Orff was never just one thing; he was a music educator as well as a composer and a theater maker. There were shifting emphases in his various phases of life, but he never really separated all of that."[8].
Carl Orff Prize The Carl Orff Prize is awarded to individuals who have made extraordinary achievements in their engagement with the work and oeuvre of Carl Orff. In 2009, for example, the Carl Orff Foundation awarded the prize for the first time to the classical philologist and musicologist Dr. Werner Thomas (1910-2011), who devoted more than 50 years to Carl Orff. Other laureates were director John Dew[9][10], director Lemi Ponifasio, composer Heiner Goebbels, conductor Peter Rundel[11], the Clara Schumann School in Leipzig, and conductor Christian von Gehren[12].
Awarding of scholarships: The Foundation awards scholarships for students of the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs as well as the postgraduate university course "Advanced Studies in Music and Dance Education - Orff-Schulwerk" at the Orff Institute of the Mozarteum University, Salzburg. It also promotes the writing of doctoral and post-doctoral dissertations on the pedagogical and artistic work of Carl Orff. But scholarships have also been awarded in conjunction with the Carl Orff Festival[13]
Promotion of the Pedagogical Work: The Foundation promotes the dissemination of the Orff Schulwerk throughout the world. It financially supports national and international workshops, projects, publications and symposia of the international Orff Schulwerk societies, thereby promoting intercultural and music pedagogical exchange.
Promotion of the artistic work: The foundation deals intensively with the artistic work of Orff. It sees its task in drawing attention to Orff's stage works in addition to the most famous Orff work Carmina Burana.
Carl Orff Museum: The foundation, together with the Marktgemeinde Dießen, has the legal authority for the Carl Orff Museum in Dießen. In 2019, the Carl Orff Foundation launched a major project to fulfill Lieselotte Orff's last will and testament. The composer's widow, who died in 2012, had left it to the foundation to develop a concept for the use of the orphaned Orff estate at Ziegelstadel in Dießen. Therefore, a new family-friendly museum with a large music education area is now being planned. Completion is expected to take 3 years.[14]
Carl Orff Festival Andechs: The foundation supported the regular Carl Orff Festival Andechs, which took place from 1998 to 2008 under the artistic direction of Hellmuth Matiasek. From 2008 to 2015, Marcus Everding directed the festival. In 2015, there was a rift between the Andechs Abbey as organizer and the foundation; the abbey declared that it did not see itself in a position to continue hosting the festival. The reason was "serious and irreconcilable differences between the monastery and the Carl Orff Foundation."[15] Since 2017, there is again Carl Orff Festival with a new sponsor and concept, initially under the name Carl Orff Festival Andechs & Ammersee,[16][17] later as Orff Festival Andechs Ammersee, under the direction of Florian Zwipf-Zaharia.
Promoting scholarly engagement with the complete works: The Orff Center is supported by the Foundation in close cooperation in its research and documentation tasks (e.g., support for publication projects, securing and supplementing holdings, doctoral scholarships).
The foundation is a member of the Federal Association of German Foundations.
