The APC Endowment supports the Arvo Pärt Centre in preserving and researching the creative legacy of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt

The Arvo Pärt Centre Endowment is an investment fund that secures a long-term, independent source of income for the Arvo Pärt Centre, an open meeting place for musicians, researchers, and music lovers interested in Arvo Pärt’s music and world of ideas. Established in 2021, the Endowment enables the Centre to preserve and research Arvo Pärt’s creative heritage, support educational initiatives, and host concerts and residencies that foster a deeper understanding of his work. By distributing a portion of its investment income annually, the Endowment helps the Centre maintain its mission of ensuring that Arvo Pärt’s archive and musical legacy remain accessible to current and future generations, while upholding the values of simplicity, silence, and focused listening that are at the heart of Pärt’s creative philosophy.

Nestled within the pine forests of Laulasmaa, Estonia, the Arvo Pärt Centre serves as a unique environment where visitors can experience music in a space designed for quiet reflection and attentive listening. The Centre holds the composer’s personal archive, including manuscripts, recordings, and documents, and shares these resources through research, publications, and public programs that welcome people of all ages. It offers concerts, film screenings, and exhibitions, creating opportunities for visitors to engage deeply with Pärt’s work in an environment that fosters dialogue between music, silence, and the listener.

Supporting the Endowment means contributing to a sustainable future for the Centre, allowing it to continue welcoming musicians, students, scholars, and visitors while preserving the artistic and spiritual legacy of Arvo Pärt. It ensures the Centre can remain resilient and independent in a changing world, offering a place where Arvo Pärt’s music and archive are preserved, studied, and shared through concerts, education, and research, while nurturing a community that values stillness, listening, and the search for the essential both in music and in life.
