Mostly Modern Festival is an international music festival that celebrates modern music in all its diversity—music by living composers from across the globe, alongside 20th and 21st-century classics. 

The festival takes place at the Arthur Zankel Music Center at Skidmore College every June. It is ideally located in beautiful Saratoga Springs, New York, a world-renowned destination with an award-winning downtown.

New York, Boston, and Montreal are all within a three-hour drive. Mostly Modern Festival | The Netherlands is the European edition, taking place every April in Holland in historic Middelburg, Zeeland.

"Mostly Modern Festival dazzles… MMF is the creation of Robert Paterson— acclaimed composer— and his wife, Victoria Paterson— celebrated violinist. Together, they have created a refreshingly unique and addictive musical experience that is sure to amaze."
