I would compare my music with white light which contains all the colours. Only a prism can extract the colours and make them visible to us. The prism could be the consciousness of the listener.

Arvo Pärt

About us

The Arvo Pärt Centre combines the composer’s personal archive with an information and music Centre. It is an open meeting place for anyone interested in Arvo Pärt’s music and world of ideas. The core of the centre is the archive, which comprises information and documents related to the composer’s work in both physical and digital formats.


Our supporters

In addition to the income from the sale of tickets and other items and state subsidies from the Republic of Estonia, the Arvo Pärt Centre finances its activities with the generous help of its donors.

When you make a donation, you are giving much more than financial support; you are helping us to cultivate an environment for researching the work of Arvo Pärt – his music and its message, but also help us enrich the cultural environment around us. Through your help, we can extend the archive and make it accessible to the public, broaden the range of opportunities for researchers, compile new publications, organise a multifaceted cultural programme of concerts and other events, to make the visit to the centre more enjoyable. Through all this, Arvo Pärt’s legacy becomes more accessible to the public and reaches an increasing number of people around the world.

Whether you are a company, a foundation, or an individual contributor, discover the various ways in which you can partner with the Arvo Pärt Centre:
