This episode is hosted by APATA Ambassador Angela Loh, Managing Producer for Camerata, Queensland's Chamber Orchestra in conversation with Eva Spata from Sydney Catholic Schools. Eva works with a dynamic team in strategic direction and implementation for creative and performing arts across the 150 schools in the Sydney Catholic Schools network. Overcoming the challenge of 2020 and 2021 Sydney Catholic Schools was able to introduce a number of "firsts" last year.
2022 will welcome the massive School of Rock Arena Spectacular with 4000 student participants from across their network of primary and secondary schools, the continuation of the Eisteddfod and Amadeus programming, growing the fulltime performing arts stream and of course creating performance opportunities for their students across Sydney.
But wait, there's more!
Along with these incredible educational innovations Eva is a versatile performer across many genres and has vast experience as a director, a producer, and a musical director.
We learn Eva's own journey in the performing arts from her early years to high school, inspiring her to earn a BA in Music, a BA in Education and a Master’s in Educational Leadership.
From Eva’s mentors and experiences to her hopes for the future of performing arts education in Australia please enjoy this chat between Angela Loh and Eva Spata celebrating performing arts education.
