Live and act

After finishing school, Huppertz studied classical guitar with Tadashi Sasaki (* 1943 in Tokyo ) at the Aachen department of the Cologne University of Music and Dance and completed this course with his concert exam. He also took master classes with Thomas Müller-Pering , Hubert Käppel , Abel Carlevaro and Dieter Kreidler, among others . As part of a study trip to Japan in 1990, he performed at the international guitar competitions in Okayama and Tokyo, where he took 1st and 2nd place respectively. He then performed worldwide as a soloist and chamber musician.

Finally, Huppertz received a teaching position for classical guitar at his previous training facility, the Aachen University of Music, where he has meanwhile also been appointed professor. In addition, he has been a member of the board of directors of the Aachen department together with Herbert Görtz , Ilja Scheps and Claudia Kunz-Eisenlohr for many years and is also Vice Dean for Faculty 1 of the Cologne University of Music. At the beginning of 2020, after Görtz's retirement due to old age, he took over the position of managing director.

In addition, Huppertz has been artistic director of the Aachen guitar festival "AquisGranGuitarra" since 1999 and the chamber music concert series "Accordate" since 2007. Huppertz also holds regular guitar master classes and is repeatedly invited to international competitions as a jury member. In addition to his musical practice, Huppertz is co-editor of the music publisher “Edition Meroju” and founded the music label “Aurea Vox” in Krefeld in 1994 , which also publishes most of his previous CDs.
