The Central Coast Conservatorium of Music (CCCM) will welcome a new General Manager, Irena Tasevska, on November 2.
With more than 10 years of experience in strategic operations and managerial experience in the education and performing arts sectors, Tasevska said she is looking forward to working with the high performing team and building relationships with its community of teachers, students, parents and supporters.
She has previously held roles at University of NSW, where she led the Division of Philanthropy during a significant period of growth, and at Opera Australia leading the development of the organisation’s national program of events.
Tasevska is a guitarist, pianist and vocalists who attended the Sydney Conservatorium High School of Music, then completed a Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Music at the University of Sydney.
President of the CCCM, Peter Brandon, said choosing the right candidate for the job was a rigorous process.
“Of the many excellent candidates who applied for the position, three were chosen for the final of two interviews and Irena stood out as the strongest candidate,” Brandon said.
“I know that all sectors of the Conservatorium community will make her feel extremely welcome in what will be a very demanding but fulfilling role on our CCCM Management team.”
