Harry H. Huber’s 58th year as organist at University United Methodist Church, Salina, Kansas, was recognized on April 26, in conjunction with the church’s 100th anniversary celebration. At the morning service Dr. Huber played his own compositions for prelude, offertory, and postlude. The Chancel Choir sang the anthem Trust in God, by Eugene Butler, which was commissioned by the church for Huber’s 50th anniversary as organist.
He received bachelor and master of music degrees from Temple University, and did extensive graduate study at Boston University. His organ teachers were Alexander McCurdy, Claire Coci, George Faxon, and Michael Schneider. Mr. Huber and his wife have enjoyed several European trips, and he attended the International Organ Institute in Haarlem, the Netherlands, as well as participating in a European Organ Study Tour with Arthur Howes of the Peabody Institute. Huber taught organ, piano, theory, and church music at Kansas Wesleyan University for 32 years. Upon retirement, the university awarded him an honorary Doctor of Music degree.
