\"\"<\/a>Tickets are now available for the Coronado School of the Arts 30th anniversary Gala, Emerald Expressions, Celebrating 30 Years of Creativity, taking place on March 14 at Venue 808 in Downtown San Diego.<\/p>\n

Presented by the CoSA Foundation, the event promises to reflect the creativity, talent, energy, and excitement that define CoSA. \u201cWe have been working very hard to make this event memorable and special. All six conservatories will participate in the entertainment, there will be a plated dinner, live and silent auction, photo booth, and dancing to DJ-curated music,\u201d shared CoSA Foundation President and event chair Linda Edison.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe chose Venue 808 because it is one of San Diego\u2019s premier event spaces and provides the perfect backdrop for such a special evening,\u201d Edison added. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to share our 30th anniversary with members of the community who support and champion our student artists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCoSA is a family, and many graduates are passionate about returning to inspire the next generation of artists,\u201d said Coronado High School Principal and CoSA Director Karin Mellina. Three CoSA alumni currently serve on the faculty: Karrie Jackson leads the Visual Arts Conservatory; Matt Heinecke teaches Instrumental Music, and Anna Woerman returned to grow the Digital Arts (DigArts) program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>CoSA Foundation President Linda Edison and her daughter, CoSA senior Jenna Edison. Linda is also the chair of the March 14 CoSA gala, Emerald Expressions, which will celebrate 30 years of pre-professional arts education at San Diego County\u2019s premier public school arts conservatory at the school-within-a-school at Coronado High School.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur students are so fortunate to have such passionate and accomplished teachers to guide them through the preprofessional coursework in the program,\u201d said Edison, whose daughter Jenna is currently a senior studying Theater Production, Management and Design. \u201cCoSA provides opportunities that you simply can\u2019t find anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the past 30 years, CoSA has graduated an impressive roster of creative and accomplished artists across multiple disciplines, many achieving national recognition as leaders in their fields.<\/p>\n

Most recently, CoSA alum Joseph Lorge won a Grammy award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Last year another alum, Michael Silberblatt, was named Best Supporting Actor at AFIN International Film Festival.<\/p>\n

CoSA encourages students to challenge themselves both personally and professionally, and each year students earn top honors in national competitions.<\/p>\n

Recently, CoSA junior, Luca Hansen won the English Speaking Union Shakespeare Competition, joining a distinguished list of CoSA students who have excelled in this regional and national competition. Additionally, freshman Adeleine Moniz Guths placed fourth in the Musical Theater Competitions of America (MTCA) for Outstanding Solo Performance.<\/p>\n
