Student Recitals

Performing is a large, important part of playing an instrument. Our program not only offers performance opportunities at the end of each semester, but make it a requirement for succeeding in our program*. After learning and studying music during a full five-month semester, our students will be able to present their work to friends, family and the rest of the SICOM community. Please make sure you familiarize yourself with the following information regarding student recitals here at SICOM.

Spaces in each recital are limited and on a first come, first serve basis.

Students must understand that the recital is a complete presentation. In addition to fully preparing their piece, students must also:

Dress Appropriately: Semi-formal to formal wear is required. No Jeans, sneakers, or shorts.
