Pacific Region International Summer Music Academy (PRISMA)
MISSION
The Pacific Region International Summer Music Academy (PRISMA) Festival offers an in-depth orchestral training program that is designed to provide advanced students and young professionals with the essential tools to win a position in a professional orchestra. The program bridges the education students receive at a university/conservatory and the professional life of an orchestra musician. PRISMA is also very valuable for undergraduates, as it helps develop skills for future studies and builds confidence for student recitals and exams. There are numerous concerts and performance opportunities during the two-week PRISMA Festival each June, attended by enthusiastic and sophisticated audiences in Powell River, British Columbia, Canada.
WHAT DISTINGUISHES THIS SCHOOL
PRISMA prides itself on its focus not only on the technical aspects of music education but on the care it takes to ensure a positive experience-one that brings people together through a shared love of music. It has an exceptionally supportive environment for learning and performing together.
