Born and raised in Powell River, British Columbia, Andy Rice’s lifelong passion for the creative arts led him toward a Bachelor of Music degree from Capilano University in 2012. After several years gathering ‘street smarts’ as an educator, journalist and touring musician he’s become in demand as an arts administrator, juggling his time between Vancouver, Powell River and various Canadian cities through his work with the British Columbia Choral Federation, Townsite Jazz Festival Pacific Region International Summer Music Association and Canadian Chamber Choir.
