Life
Eduard Henneberger grew up in Basel, where he attended grammar school and upper secondary school. He received his musical training at the music school and the conservatory.

He performed regularly as a soloist or with his Henneberger trio at the AMG concerts in the Stadtcasino Basel . With Hans Vogt he formed a long-term piano duo and was also a sought-after song accompanist a. a. by Arnold Pauli .
