Music of Remembrance Announces New Executive Director

By Francisco Salazar

The board of Seattle-based Music of Remembrance has announced legal professional and longtime human rights advocate Lorri Staal as the performing arts organization’s Executive Director.

Staal joins MOR President and Founding Artistic Director Mina Miller to work with the organization.

In a statement, Staal said, “I believe music is a cross-cultural unifying force, and I am honored to join MOR during this pivotal moment. As a lifelong student of classical and contemporary world music who is also devoted to social impact, I have been consistently inspired by MOR’s work to honor the legacies of persecuted communities through diverse artistic expressions. While MOR brilliantly raises awareness of suffering through music and art, it also instills hope for a brighter future. This vision holds greater significance in today’s world than ever before, and I’m deeply gratified to shift my professional focus to this mission-driven work.”

Staal joins MOR from JND Legal Administration, where she served as Vice President of Operations following her role as Vice President of Client Services at EPIQ, a global provider of legal administration services. She has also engaged in deeply meaningful volunteer work with several organizations and she served as a pro bono in-house counsel to the Seattle Symphony, among others.
