"Empowering people to being leaders in their own way…“

In October 2021, the “Musicians Without Borders“ (MWB) held their
first “Music Leadership Summit“ in Ede, The Netherlands. In this
and the upcoming episode, you will get a chance to listen to people
who organized, created and participated in this event. In the first
two conversations, I asked Laura Hassler (director of the MWB) and
Otto de Jong (one of the organization’s most experienced trainers)
these questions: What are the roots of the Musicians Without
Borders‘ (MWB) understanding of justice? How do the MWB define
musical quality? What kind of leadership do they think is needed
today? Last but not least: How can musical leaders also use music
as a tool to create order in a classroom or rehearsal room full of
teenagers who are eager to make music? For more information about
