Loab Hammoud is an ethnomusicologist and a Humboldt postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute of Music Research at the University of Würzburg Germany, where he researches identity formation in musical performances and the role of music in the lives of Syrian musicians, as they adapt and reconstruct their homes in Germany. Previously, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Haifa. He plays and teaches the oud, as well as Arab music theory. His previous research focused on the culture of the Egyptian dawr (as composed by Zakaria Ahmed), the history of Palestinian Arab art music, as well as Arab music education and performance among Israeli Jews.
 
Liliane Kheirbek, a Soprano and pharmacist at Houston Methodist Hospital, was born in France and raised in Syria. She was trained in Damascus, Lyon, and Brussels, specializing in Opera and Middle Eastern music. She has performed with the Syrian National Symphony, National Arab Orchestra, and in major Houston and Detroit theatres, including the Hobby Center, Music Hall Center of the Performing Arts and the George Theater. She is passionate about bridging cultures through music.
