| Welcome to SICPP 2008: six days and nights of explosive new music! |
| 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 – six full days of masterclasses, 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. |
| At SICPP, you're not alone in wanting more from music than a key signature and a steady beat! |

| “The whole experience was marvelous … really extraordinary!” |
| “I only have words of enthusiasm about SICPP; it’s just wonderful and surely unique in its genre.” |
| “When I returned home I noticed that several New York-based classical music websites mentioned SICPP … This is a testament to the extremely high level of performance you have successfully cultivated.
