Why am I involved with “Arul Trust”? – Today: Uwe Friedemann

Today we introduce our club member Uwe Friedemann:

Uwe Friedemann, born in 1962, studied music education in Heidelberg with a major in piano and advanced singing, is a choir director and has been the head of the Nussloch music school since 2005. As a composer and lyricist, he is committed to ensuring that the German musical tradition finds a contemporary continuation, that the German language is given its place in music and that Christian teachings are combined with conscious self-respect.

Uwe Friedemann writes about his motivation for joining the Arul Trust e. V. support association:

“The trigger for my membership in the Arul Trust association is the long-term cooperation between the Nussloch music school and the Catholic pastoral care unit Leimen-Nussloch-Sandhausen.

After Father Arul Lourdu asked me if I wanted to join the association, I did. Everyone has only a limited amount of opportunities to help in the world, so it made sense for me to do it where there are personal connections.

I see the need for everyone to do their best according to their abilities. As a musician, I do this primarily through music. But I also get involved in other areas where I believe I can make a reasonable contribution.

The fact that we depend on compassion in order to develop well is already deeply rooted in the pre-Christian teachings of Buddha and should always make us as Christians think about not only thinking about ourselves."
