25 Years of the Orff Centre Munich I Chronicle 1990 - 2015

In 2015, the Orff Centre Munich celebrated its 25th anniversary. With this chronicle, the State Institute for Research and Documentation informs the public about its diverse tasks and activities as a composers' institute.
In the quarter of a century since its foundation in 1990, a wealth of events, achievements and results has accumulated. In order not to inflate the volume unnecessarily, it was decided to summarise important and fundamental information in short texts and otherwise let the data and facts speak for themselves.
The chronicle is divided into three parts. The first part describes the founding history of the Orff Centre Munich and outlines its fields of activity. The chapters in the middle section are essentially based on the areas of responsibility mentioned in the "Ordinance Establishing the Orff Centre Munich" of 18 August 1988. However, it hardly needs to be emphasised that the fields of activity have become more differentiated, weighted and increased in the course of time compared to the "Ordinance". Within the chapters, the facts are predominantly arranged in chronological order; continuous texts are used where individual data could no longer be presented in a comprehensible way due to their abundance or would otherwise remain incomprehensible to the reader. Finally, the third part contains a list of the names of all current and former staff members as well as information on the Institute's properties.
