Ep 58 Sandra Schembri

Davina Vencatasamy spoke to Sandra Schembri, the CEO of Nordoff
Robbins, UK, continuing her sequence of interviews exploring
diversity, race and representation in music therapy. Sandra
describes herself as follows:


"Over the course of my 26+ year career so far I have had the
pleasure of working with some amazing organisations including
Bloomberg, The Royal Academy of Arts, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club
and The House of St Barnabas, supporting further social change in
the areas of music, culture, homelessness and employment. I am a
"People 1st" leader and believe very deeply that "culture eats
strategy for breakfast". I currently have the privilege of
leading Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy UK where my music studies
are being put to good use (singer, cello, clarinet). I am a proud
mother of a 6-year-old force of nature and big on family, dogs,
sci-fi, trees and food. There is nothing that cannot start to be
solved with the help of a cup of tea with a biscuit."
