Hey there!

Summer International Conducting Academy with Theodore Kuсhar in Lviv is a unique space where young conductors have the opportunity to work with one of the best orchestras in Ukraine and improve their skills under the guidance of world-renowned Maestro.

During five days you won't just study — you'll rehearse with a professional symphony orchestra, guided by the experienced and passionate Theodore Kuchar, who has been directing young conductors for many years.

In addition to hands-on rehearsals with the Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra, participants will engage in lectures, discussions, and culminate their experience with a final concert in the Liudkevych Concert Hall of the Lviv Philharmonic. Participation in SICA is free of charge.

This isn’t just a masterclass — it’s a deep dive into the artistic process. You’ll have the freedom to ask questions, take creative risks, make mistakes, and grow from them.

And all of that — in the heart of incredible Lviv.

The community

SICA is not only about practical skills and conducting. It's about a community of people who are united by their love of music. Here you can be yourself, have space to search for new ideas and collaborations.
