"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."
Saratoga Today

The festival occurs at Skidmore College at the Arthur Zankel Music Center 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, every April in Holland in historic Middelburg, Zeeland.
