After studies in Stuttgart, Germany with Wilhelm Speidel, Herman returned to the United States; he made his debut at Steinway Hall in New York on May 10, 1877, and, beginning two years before his death, he performed as soloist with the New York Philharmonic on several occasions; he enjoyed particular success in one of the piano concerti of Hermann Goetz during the season of 1881-1882.
In 1991, he sang the role of Lucentio in Hermann Goetz's Der Widerspänstigen Zähmung at the Wexford Festival Opera, toured throughout Japan, and portrayed the role of Don Ottavio in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Don Giovanni at the Savonlinna Opera Festival in Finland.
