 SICPP is an intensive performance seminar on music of the twentieth century for advanced pianists, percussionists, and instrumentalists.
SICPP draws both young people discovering the thrill of the avant-garde and experienced veterans who have mastered the music of our time. The experience is intense – eight full days of master classes, lessons, rehearsals and concerts. It's an opportunity to open your ears and your mind, to immerse yourself in hearing where music has been going for the last 100 years, and to try to understand where it might be going next.
SICPP is an invaluable experience for anyone interested in new music and ready to tackle the challenges of 20th/21st century repertoire under a faculty uniquely experienced in learning, performing and teaching these pieces. In many cases the SICPP faculty have worked directly with the composers themselves, and can impart first hand information about the music.
The SICPP Ensemble Program is an exciting way to work with other players who share a love of the avant-garde. Many SICPP students, who are sometimes the only people they know dipping into the pool of atonality, experimental and extended techniques, find themselves among friends and comrades who share their interest.
"This program was amazing beyond all words. It was THE perfect week for me...getting to perform, learn, rehearse and be exposed to all this music and all of those people was fabulous."
"It was so great to be around so much great music and be surrounded by people who are as hard core about new music as I am. Sick puppy is basically new music heaven."
