Cello teacher at SIPO
The SIPO 2010 edition will have a cello master class teacher, Márcio Carneiro. He is an excellent soloist and won the Tchaikowski Competition in Moscow in 1978. Thanks to his pedagogical qualities, André Navarra, his teacher, made him his assistant at a very early age. Today he is teacher at the Detmold Music Academy, Germany and is in great demand among “young talents”. He also teaches at the Conservatoire Supérieur Tibor Varga in Sion, Switzerland.

SIPO's new website
Welcome to SIPO's new website. It was designed to better serve you and we hope you will be pleased with it. It still needs work but we thought it was better to get it out as soon as possible, considering how the next SIPO edition will take place soon. One of the key strengths of this new design, under the hood, is that it has enormous potential for adding complex and modern features. In the next few months we intend to improve upon it continually: a Portuguese version, more photos, more interaction with you, etc. Stay tuned.
Welcome!
