About Us
The Powell River Academy of Music is a dynamic not-for-profit community music school offering excellence in arts education to students of all ages since 1981.
Our programs in music, dance, theatre, and visual arts enable infants, youth, adults and seniors alike to develop individual talents and skills while acquiring a lifelong love of the arts.
Visitors and the citizens of Powell River are enriched through the Academy Concert Series and the many international artists that perform at the International Choral Kathaumixw Festival.
Academy Choirs are known world-wide through their performances, recordings, television and radio broadcasts in over 26 countries.
Powell River is located 80 air miles north of Vancouver on British Columbia's beautiful 'Sunshine Coast' — the gateway to the extraordinary vistas of Desolation Sound.
