Royce Rich is establishing himself as one of Canada's up-and-coming concert artists. In July 2021, he was listed as one of CBC Music’s “Top 30 Under 30 Hot Musicians” for the release of his self-produced debut Spotify album of show pieces entitled Short Stories. 

​

In July 2015, Royce was awarded the coveted Gabora Prize in Italy at the Casalmaggiore International Festival, and has since appeared on concert stages as a solo artist and chamber musician across Canada, the USA, Italy, and Germany. He has performed as a guest artist with the Brampton Symphony Orchestra, Lions Gate Sinfonia Orchestra, Durham Chamber Orchestra, Smazal Chamber Orchestra, and twice with the Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra. 

​

Throughout the summer of 2023, Royce was co-concertmaster of the National Academy Orchestra - Canada’s top training orchestra for up-coming professional orchestral musicians. 

Orchestral playing is one of Royce’s first loves. Throughout 2024, Royce was invited to assume the position of Principal Second Violinist of the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra in Ontario. Royce has also performed as a violinist with the Kingston Symphony Orchestra, Prince George Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, the National Academy Orchestra, and The Royal Conservatory Orchestra. 

​

As a recitalist and chamber musician, Royce has collaborated with concert series across British Columbia and Ontario, namely for West Vancouver Arts Council, Arts at One hosted by Douglas College, Music Friends, The Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver, Vancouver Chinese Garden, Newmann Productions, Concerts @ 100, St. Andrew’s Noon Hour, KnoxVan Events and Clearly Musical Home Concerts.

Aside from performing, recording and teaching music, Royce loves swimming, cycling, running, hiking, listening to Retrowave and Dreamwave music, and hosting dinner parties for his friends and colleagues.
