Franz-Peter Huber Wins German Family Foundation Award for Transformative Musical Legacy

Franz-Peter Huber, the esteemed Director of Music at Fulda Cathedral, has been honoured with the prestigious German Family Foundation Award. This recognition, a profound personal achievement for Huber and a great distinction for the Diocese of Fulda, is a testament to his exceptional work in shaping and nurturing musical talent across generations.

Huber's approach to music transcends mere performance, creating resonance that touches and shapes people in body, space, and being. His choral work has shaped children, young people, and adults alike, instilling values and fostering personal growth. This is evident in the Youth Cathedral Choir, which opens a gateway to great choral music and cultivates personal skills and strengths.

The award ceremony, held in the baroque Fürstensaal in Fulda, will feature performances by the Amarilli Ensemble, Youth Cathedral Choir, and Fulda Cathedral Choir. Bishop Dr. Michael Gerber congratulated Huber in a personal letter, acknowledging his significant contribution to the cathedral's musical legacy. Oberbürgermeister Dr. Wingenfeld will deliver a laudatory speech in honour of Huber.

Franz-Peter Huber's work extends beyond musical excellence, strengthening and uniting people through music. His dedication has fostered a unique connection with young families and the youngest generation through early childhood education and the choir school. The German Family Foundation Award is a profound personal recognition for Huber, reflecting not just his musical prowess, but also his commitment to education and community building.
