Wilhelm-Kempff-Kulturstiftung
About the funder
The Kempff Cultural Foundation (Italian: Fondazione Culturale Kempff) was established after the death of the pianist Wilhelm Kempff (1895–1991). It promotes art and culture in the tradition of Kempff, particularly through masterclasses, artist residencies, and festivals at Casa Orfeo in Positano on the Amalfi Coast. The foundation preserves and maintains the instruments from Kempff’s estate and regards Casa Orfeo as an inspiring meeting place for musicians, musicologists, and composers.
