Boris Sichon has hundreds of different instruments in his home in Mission. Although this instrument is made from a ram’s horn, many more are fashioned from recycling Sichon has found throughout the years. 📷 Grace Kennedy

Boris Sichon’s garage is filled with music. 

It might not look that way on a quiet Friday morning in Mission, when the only noise comes from the creaking of the garage door and the twittering of a bird outside. But inside, hiding amongst the labyrinth of teetering shelves and overflowing boxes, there is song.

Sichon is an amazing man. I love his passion for music and incredible creative instruments, reminds me of myself and the different instruments I have created over the years. Nice to see I am not the only one out there.

Love the profile and story about Boris Sichon ! What a fascinating and accomplished person ! We need a film director to construct an hour long special about him. Before I retired, my students created musical instruments out of clay. How I wished that I could have invited Boris Sichon to be a guest presenter for them. What an inspiration he is. Thank you for posting such a great piece ! Susan Gorris
