Eva Laverty
Percussion and Timpani
Eva is a percussionist and timpanist from London in the final year of her undergraduate degree at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
Eva has freelanced with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the Ulster Orchestra and is looking forward to continuing her freelance career in London next year. Other performance highlights include performing in the CBSO Centre Stage Percussion Showcase (2023) and ‘Amaechi’ at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
In 2024, Eva won the annual Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Percussion Prize and a place on the Ulster Orchestra Professional Experience Scheme. She was also awarded training on the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) Percussion scheme and CBSO Timpani scheme in 2023.
Eva is passionate about evolving the classical music industry to our everchanging culture. In February 2024, Eva created and performed in her own ReVamp Collective – an informal evening of classical and contemporary ensemble music with the aim of reimagining the typical classical music experience. Eva hopes to continue to improve the inclusion of classical music and is honoured to be a part of the Benedetti Ambassador programme to apply these ideas to musical education as well.
