It was by far one of the best weeks of my musical season. A perfect blend of challenge, new ideas, and adventure.

In the two years that I've been a performer at SICPP, I have consistently had the most enriching chamber music performance experiences of my life.  Sick Puppy does an excellent job of exposing artists, young and old, to the essential repertoire of our time--extending the influence of new music to the communities of Boston and beyond.

This summer program was really motivating, and I'm going to try to find people here to start a new music ensemble at my school.

So many like-minded people creating this great artistic community, playing fantastic music all the time.  I met so many interesting performers and composers with really enlightening perspectives and thoughts, and I can't wait to come back to SICPP next time... I've been raving about it nonstop to my family and friends.  Thanks again for a truly inspiring week of masterclasses and colloquia and concerts.

Hearing composers and musicians talk about new music formally (in the masterclasses and colloquia), and informally (around NEC and at Uno's) was so educational.  All of the performances on the series at Jordan Hall, at the Gardner, and at the Iditarod were fantastic.  There were such good vibes and an intense excitement about new music in the air!

It really was the best musical experience of my life! Being able to meet so many people that share an equal if not more exuberant love for contemporary music was invaluable to my growth as a musician and a person.  The intensity of the week really helped me rise to a new level.
