Michael Sicard (1867–1937) was a Russian violinist, composer, and teacher of French descent. He wrote several orchestral and chamber works.
He studied the violin from childhood and moved with his family to Kyiv at an early age. He graduated from the Kyiv Music School in 1882–1884, studying violin with Otakar Ševčík, and from the Paris Conservatory in 1884–1886, where he studied with Jean Massart. He continued his training in Berlin with Joseph Joachim in violin and Woldemar Bargiel in composition. In 1886 he won first prize in the Paris Conservatory violin competition.
Sicard began performing in Kyiv at the age of nine. After completing his studies, he worked as a soloist at the Concert House in Berlin and gave his own concerts in many European cities. Returning to Kyiv in 1888, he continued concert work and founded a successful quartet in which he played first violin. In 1893 he became associated with Mykola Lysenko's circle and formed another quartet, which performed frequently in Kyiv, Berlin, Prague, and other cities.
He appeared in cities across the Russian Empire and in European capitals. From 1892 he taught for a time at the Kyiv Music School of the Russian Musical Society; his pupils included the young Reinhold Glière. He also worked at the private schools of Stanislav Blumenfeld and Mykola Tutkovsky. In 1894–1895 he was a soloist with the Colonne Orchestra in Paris, and from 1913 he served as a professor at the Amsterdam Conservatory.
His works included a violin concerto, violin pieces, and arrangements of Ukrainian folk songs and dances. He also made a violin arrangement of Lysenko's Second Rhapsody; Lysenko dedicated his Elegiac Capriccio for violin and piano to Sicard.
