Wolters Now Exec. Director, MusiCares
• MusiCares®, the leading music charity supporting the health and wellness of music professionals, has formally appointed Theresa Wolters as its new Executive Director.
Wolters, who has served as MusiCares’ VP of Health & Human Services since 2022, had stepped in as Interim Executive Director earlier this year, and now formally leads MusiCares in its mission to provide a safety net of comprehensive support to the music community.
Wolters brings than two decades of global health and humanitarian leadership to the role, thanks to her earlier work with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Millennium Promise, and the International Medical Corps.
“Theresa embodies the spirit of MusiCares. She approaches her work with empathy and clarity, and she strengthens every story with facts that show why our work matters,” said Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy® & MusiCares. “Her leadership ensures that music professionals will continue to have access to the care and support they need — recognizing that financial struggles, health concerns and mental health challenges are often deeply connected.”
“Every day, MusiCares has a life-changing, and often lifesaving, impact on music professionals,” Wolters remarked. “For 35 years, MusiCares has been driven by compassion and a relentless focus on solving the big challenges facing our community. I am truly privileged to work alongside such an outstanding team of committed professionals and know MusiCares will continually rise to meet the needs of those we serve.” [Photo by Kelly Samson, Gallery Photography]
