Friedrich-Wilhelm Tebbe (born 31 May 1945) in Rotenburg an der Wümme Germany, is a German conductor, singer, and organist. He studied voice at Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover.
Tebbe concentrated on studying lyric baritone roles such as Figaro (The Barber of Seville) and Papageno (The Magic Flute) which he subsequently performed on stage. After qualifying as a music teacher and voice instructor, he studied conducting with Felix Prohaska in Hanover and later at the University of Mainz with Sergiu Celibidache. As principal conductor of the Schaumburger Märchensänger (Obernkirchen Children's Choir) from 1980 to 1994, Tebbe was the leading force behind several bestselling recordings of the choir, which sold millions of copies worldwide.
As conductor and co-founder of the Bückeburger Bach-Orchester, he is known reviving the symphonies by Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach, several of which were recorded for the first time by the orchestra. Tebbe performed in most of the world's leading concert halls and has an extensive discography. He has appeared in over 50 German television broadcasts.
