It is with great appreciation that we congratulate our Honorary President Hermann Rauhe on his 95th birthday. For decades, he shaped the fortunes of the Hamburg University of Music and Drama (HfMT), which he led from 1978 to 2004 as Germany's longest-serving university president with foresight, innovative strength and tireless commitment. With a pioneering spirit, he introduced innovative courses of study, including cultural management, music therapy and pop and jazz studies - some of the first of their kind in Germany. His academic work has been published in numerous publications and continues to influence the music world today. Thanks to his commitment, the HfMT is not only a place of learning, but also a vibrant part of the cultural city of Hamburg.

Prof. Dr. Jan Philipp Sprick: "We thank Hermann Rauhe for his extraordinary work and his tireless commitment to music, science and cultural diversity. May his 95th birthday be a day full of joy, recognition and wonderful memories!"
