"SICK PUPPY" This annual new-music seminar at New England Conservatory draws its memorable nickname from its acronym, SICPP, or the Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice. It promises an invigorating weeklong dose of contemporary music, with free concerts every evening. Jonathan Harvey is this year's composer-in-residence but the programs, beginning tomorrow, will also feature works by Messiaen, Ives, Stockhausen, Lou Harrison, and Salvatore Sciarrino among many others.
