About The Institute

Mostly Modern Festival Institute |The Netherlands is the European edition of Mostly Modern Festival Institute USA, , where composers from around the world attend the festival, have a new work performed, attend performances, lectures/seminars/mentoring by the composition faculty and other renowned guest speakers. “Mostly Modern” is a place to explore & network with faculty and participants and create new opportunities outside a traditional setting.

Chamber music is a cornerstone of the Mostly Modern experience. During the festival, we offer composers an opportunity to have a brand-new chamber work performed by a world-class ensemble of professional performers from all over Europe and the United States.

The institute accepts composers ages 18 and over. Composers will be provided with a link to a multi-camera shot performance video via the festival’s YouTube channel and top-of-the-line audio of their works and performances.

Mostly Modern Festival | The Netherlands takes place at Muziekschool Zeeland in Middelburg, ZE, The Netherlands. All public performances take place at the acoustically stunning Zeeuwse Concertzaal.
