MUSICIANS WITHOUT BORDERS

Musicians Without Borders started as a group of socially engaged musicians in the Netherlands, bringing music performances, workshops, and instruments to refugee camps. Nowadays, we're active in Central America, East Africa, Europe and the Middle East... Musicians Without Borders' philosophy and vision are based on three principles... As musicians, we have all experienced music's power: in the creation of music with fellow musicians, the opening of new worlds through teaching and learning music, the shared connection of enjoying music together. Music, like language, is a common, shared human capacity, and can strengthen empathy, help to heal and connect, encourage, empower, and bring joy: all essential to building just and peaceful societies. From rock ‘n' roll to classical, from rap to jazz to body percussion, Musicians Without Borders works through the power of music for peacebuilding and social change.
