Laura Hassler is Director of Musicians Without Borders, an organization that uses the power of music to bridge divides, build community and heal wounds of war. Born in New York and a resident of the Netherlands, Laura combined a background in civil rights and peace activism with her diverse musical network to found Musicians Without Borders in 1999, persuaded of music’s unique potential as a tool for peacebuilding and social change. With long-term projects in the Balkans, the Middle East, Eastern Africa, Central America and Europe, Musicians Without Borders is now a global leader in an increasingly recognized field. A frequently invited speaker, writer, and presenter, Laura has received multiple awards for her work from Dutch and US cultural, humanitarian and academic institutions.
