I am Merlijn Twaalfhoven, composer, initiator and designer of music projects that connect cultures, styles and, first and foremost, people. I am currently working with Kronos Quartet, New York Philharmonic, and Residence Orchestra, but I have also experienced working in conflict areas, refugee camps, remote villages and military zones. I founded The Turn Club to mobilize creative and entrepreneural change makers to make better connection, strategy and impact. I live with my two kids and wife in an old ship in the Amstel River of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
