Patricia Plumley-
Our Artistic Director
Our Artistic Director
Patricia Plumley divides her time between Vancouver Island and the mainland. She has been on faculty at Vancouver Community College since 1988 where she has taught piano, voice, class piano, piano pedagogy, and keyboard literature. As well, she conducts the Willan Community Choir, co-conducts the VCC Concert Choir and coaches chamber collaborations. Here on the island, Patricia enjoys teaching voice and piano at her home in Nanoose Bay, conducting the British Columbia Boys Choir in Nanaimo and directing the Vancouver Island Symphony’s Symphonic Choir, the Grade Five Honours Choirs, and Children's Choirs.
Patricia studied music and dance from an early age. She has also studied yoga, Feldenkrais and Pilates, and is enjoying opening a new door with Alexander Technique. The combination of these disciplines with her music studies influences Patricia’s personal artistic life as well as her work with students and choristers. We are very pleased to have Patricia as our Artistic Director.
