Experience rhythm, feel Orff: A special afternoon at COMU

On October 16, 2026, the COMU Carl Orff Museum in Dießen am Ammersee invites you to a focused, lively afternoon format that combines music, movement, and shared experiences. From 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Afternoon at Orff // Drumming from Head to Toe focuses on elemental music-making. No prior knowledge is required - the access remains open, immediate, and sonorous. The event is part of the series Drumming - Singing - Experiencing Rhythm and costs 20 euros per session.

A museum that sounds itself

The COMU is not only conceived as a place for exhibitions but as a vibrant space for music education. This is where the special impact of this offer lies: Visitors encounter Carl Orff's world not only through exhibits but through their own bodies, through voice, pulse, and percussion. The atmosphere promises a direct concert experience in a broader sense - close, concentrated, and supported by shared energy.

Orff in its most elemental form

Carl Orff's work thrives on rhythm, language, and movement. The COMU consistently adopts this idea and translates it into a participatory format aimed at younger and older adults. Museum tours, communal singing, and rhythmic music-making with Orff instruments interlink. This creates an afternoon that does not instruct but activates - with precise orchestration of simple means and an immediate musical effect.

Sound, body, community

The combination of drumming, singing, and rhythmic play makes the appeal of this event. Anyone entering the museum experiences not only historical depth but also a tangible interplay of acoustics and movement. The format focuses on collective synchronization rather than distance: a space where the audience becomes part of the musical dynamics. For those who want to feel the live atmosphere not only with their ears but with their hands and feet, this afternoon is perfect.

The place: COMU Carl Orff Museum in Dießen

The new Carl Orff Museum is located at the authentic life and work site of the composer in Dießen am Ammersee. Ziegelstadel 1, the park-like surroundings, and the proximity to Lake Ammersee shape the character of the building. According to the foundation, the COMU is understood as a place of encounter, learning, and inspiration - with a special focus on access, mediation, and musical practice. Information on accessibility and visiting offers is also anchored on the official pages.

Conclusion: A musical afternoon with substance

Afternoon at Orff // Drumming from Head to Toe offers more than a cultural event: It is an invitation to discover rhythm as a communal experience. Those who want to not just consume music but actively experience it will find a strong incentive to visit the COMU. Mark your calendar now and experience this special afternoon live.
