Sichuan Conservatory of Music

The Sichuan Conservatory of Music (SCCM, ), founded in 1939, is an interdisciplinary music institution in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. SCCM is one of the select conservatories authorized by the State Council to confer graduate degrees to its music and fine arts majors. Facilities SCCM runs its own symphony orchestra, philharmonic orchestra, concert wind orchestra, Chinese traditional orchestra, college choirs, and pre-college ensembles. The conservatory holds hundreds of concerts throughout the year and regularly invites distinguished guest artists and teachers from around the world. Every two years, the school hosts an intensive international piano festival, where students work with world-renowned artists such as Gary Graffman, John O'Conor, John Perry, and Boris Berman. Provincial and municipal leaders have attached great importance to the development of SCCM. The government is in the process of constructing new concert halls on the existing conservatory grounds, as well as around the city of Chengdu.
