Composer
About Me
Priscila Chu is a composer and multi-disciplinary artist whose passion lies in the fusion of different art forms through collaboration. She believes that art is not just an outcome but a practice of connection—a way to cultivate understanding, challenge perceptions, and create new ways of experiencing the world. Her recent works are known for their human-centered and conceptually rich nature, engaging audiences in meaningful and unexpected ways.
​
She creates works weaving music, movement, visual elements, and theatrical components, forging immersive and transformative artistic experiences. Collaboration is not just a method in her practice—it is the very essence of her creative vision. Whether composing for contemporary performance, integrating movement with sound, or engaging with visual and theatrical artists, she seeks to break boundaries between disciplines, allowing them to converse and transform one another.
​
From a young age, Priscila immersed herself in piano and dance, later earning a Bachelor’s degree in Music from York University, a Master’s in Education (Psychology) from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and a PhD from Hong Kong Baptist University, where she explored the power of Collaborative Arts and Music Composition.
​
As an educator, she is dedicated to expanding access to the arts, using creative practices to bridge communities, disciplines, and learning spaces. She founded AlpPla and Arts Platform, which are dedicated to researching, curating, and producing arts programs that foster dialogue across aesthetic ideas.

"Collaborative art is not just the merging of disciplines—it is a conversation, a moment of exchange where new possibilities emerge and redefine the creative experience." – Priscila Chu
