In 1985, Huebner and his brother Veit Hübner began performing with Tango Five.[3] The band performed both at the World Exhibition 1992 (Seville)[4] and 2000 (Hanover) and at the 2004 Athens Olympics.[5] They also appeared at the 1998 Tango Festival in Montevideo and Buenos Aires.

In 1996, he began collaborating with pianist Richie Beirach. Their album Round About Frederik Mompou was nominated for the Latin Grammy 2002.[7] Other recordings include Round About Bartok released in March 2000 (ACT company),[8] Beirach/Huebner/Mraz Round about Monteverdi[9] in 2003 and Duo Beirach/Huebner Duality (Niveau Records) in 2007.[10]

It is expected to be released in the fall of 2015.

Musical style

Huebner's style as a composer is a mix of his musical heritage, the folk music of eastern Europe, his studies of contemporary music and "Neue Music" in Vienna and Stuttgart. While studying and living in New York City he focused on Jazz Improvisation and developed a keen interest in different kinds of world music particularly Latin American music styles.[15] As a violinist and pianist he performs all of these styles with his groups, El Violin Latino, Sirius Quartet, Berta Epple, Richie Beirach Duo/Quartet, his own NY-NRG Quartet and his newly founded Munich Composers Collective.[16]
