LIPA-Style School Opening in Spain

The Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts--Paul McCartney’s “Fame School” created in the building where he and George Harrison were students together—is getting a sister school in Spain.

According to the Liverpool Echo, the Institute of the Arts Barcelona (IAB), just like its Liverpool counterpart, will offer training in various performing arts disciplines at foundation, degree and post-graduate levels.

IAB was founded by former LIPA head of higher education Giles Auckland-Lewis, and will enroll its first students this September.

Mark Featherstone-Witty, LIPA’s founding principal and chief executive officer, said: “We’re absolutely delighted someone has embraced our philosophy and is starting another performing arts higher education institution – the right way."
