Huib Schippers has a long and diverse history of engagement with music performance, sustainability, education and training across various cultures. Hailing from a family of western classical music industry professionals but trained as an Indian sitar player, he proceeded with (partially overlapping) careers in performance, teaching, research, journalism, the record trade, arts policy, community, and project management. He founded the World Music School in Amsterdam (1990–1996), worked for and with music schools and conservatoires in The Netherlands, Scandinavia and the UK (1998–2003), and was a driving force behind the World Music & Dance Centre in Rotterdam (2001–2006). From 2003–2015, Schippers was the inaugural Director of Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, from where he led over a dozen innovative projects bringing together research, education, performance, and community engagement, including the large international research collaboration Sustainable futures for Music Cultures: Towards an ecology of musical diversity (2009–2014), funded by the Australian Research Council. From 2016–2020, Huib Schippers directed and curated the iconic record label Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in Washington DC. He continues to publish, mentor and consult, drawing on thirty years of leadership in cultural organizations and academia.

She is also lecturer and senior artist at mdw and University Vienna. Since 2013 she has been involved in planning and developing projects based on scholarly research results, which are implemented through artistic inventions and socio-political approaches. In 2015, she received her Ph D in Ethnomusicology from the same university, and she is the author of the book Lieder, Geister und Tabus: Zum soziokulturellen Wandel der Musiktradition bei den Tao in Taiwan [Songs, Spirits and Taboos: On the Socio-Cultural Change in the Musical Tradition of the Tao in Taiwan], published by transcript in 2021. Her research interests are Applied Ethnomusicology, Artistic Research, Music of Minorities, Music of Indigenous Peoples in Taiwan, Auditory Knowledge, and Music and Migration.
