          Where was carl orff born

          Orff's earliest inspiration was his mother, Paula, who was a talented pianist. Orff's lifelong interest in the theatre can also be traced to his childhood. After visiting a marionette theatre, he staged puppet plays accompanied by dramatic musical effects, including thunder produced on the kitchen stove.

          In 1912 having already published several songs and written an opera, Orff joined the Munich Academy of Music. Although he remained to graduate in 1914, he soon lost patience with the academic approach to music.
