International Composition Institute of Thailand (ICIT) 2026

International Composition Institute of Thailand (ICIT) is an intensive and unique experience for young composers around the world to experiment their own sonic and conceptual ideas with highly artistic performers, ensembles and participate in in-depth sessions with professional contemporary living mentors/composers. The ICIT will be held on December 14th - 20th, 2026 with the partnership of Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). The selected works of participants will be premiered as part of the prestigious IntAct Festival during December 17th - 20th, 2026.

Participant composers will be able to meet our faculty online throughout the year to build the strength in their composition and ultimately to work with the ensemble at the festival.
