Welcome to SICPP: 8 days and nights of explosive new music!

We are thrilled to announce the return of SICPP in its new, exciting location!

In collaboration with University of Colorado, Colorado Springs’ Music Program and Ent Center for the Arts, and with the Green Box Arts Festival in Green Mountain Falls, CO, SICPP will take place June 24th to 30th at UCCS’s Ent Center for the Arts.

With the expanding landscape of the contemporary music world, SICPP 2023 builds upon its traditional Performance, Composition, and Electronic Music programs to include more integrated activities and interdisciplinary explorations.

With select UCCS Music Faculty joining forces with SICPP Faculty, our goal is to help develop new creative artists across the breadth of SICPP programs by integrating emerging areas such as outdoor concert and installation settings, immersive listening, environmental sound, the performer/composer relationship, and improvisation. SICPP especially welcomes students dedicated to addressing issues of our time in their music and from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

New to SICPP, the 2023 institute will include creative activities in beautiful mountain landscapes offered by Colorado Springs and Green Box Arts. All SICPP Fellows will be able to participate together in activities such as environmental sound walks, as well as more traditional concert performances, private lessons, coachings and seminars.
