FRANZ HAUK Born in 1955 in Neuburg on the Danube, Franz Hauk first studied church and school music, and piano and organ at the Music High Schools in Munich and Salzburg, with teachers including Aldo Schoen, Gerhard Weinberger, Franz Lehrndorfer and Edgar Krapp. In 1981 he took his master-class diploma at the Munich Musikhochschule, followed by further distinctions. In 1988 he was awarded his degree in the faculty of musicology with a work on Munich church music at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and as a scholar has been involved in questions of sources, editions and performance practice. Since 1982 he has served as organist, and since 1995 as choirmaster, at the Cathedral in Münster. He has been involved in the foundation of various concert series in Ingolstadt, including the Ingolstadt International Organ Days and the Organ Matinée at Twelve at the Asam church of Maria de Victoria. He has done much to foster a revival of interest in the composer Johann Simon Mayr. Franz Hauk has served on the juries of music competitions and given master-classes at international festivals. Since 2002 he has taught historical performance practice and church music at the Munich State Hochschule für Musik und Theater in München.
