ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Dr. Elida Dakoli is a civic leader, cultural diplomat, academic scholar, and concert pianist whose work centers on the preservation of historical memory and the advancement of democratic values. Born in Durrës, Albania, during the final years of the communist regime, she comes from a family deeply rooted in Albania’s early democratic movement and profoundly affected by the political persecution that followed its suppression. Dr. Dakoli serves on the Board of Trustees of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation and maintains an international career as a concert pianist. She is the founder of the DFW Institute of Musical Advancement and the founder of Inspired Sounds, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to music education for underserved communities. She is the author of the forthcoming memoir Beneath the Silence, a multi-generational account of her family’s experience under communist rule and a broader reflection on freedom, resilience, and identity.
