Mostly Modern Festival 2026 applications

[DanJPeck]

Hi all,

I'll be teaching again at the Mostly Modern Festival this summer. It takes place at beautiful Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. Some general info links and the orchestral repertoire is posted below. There will also be plenty of opportunities for chamber and solo playing, in addition to tons of open classes and recitals that happen over the course of the Festival. Scholarships and financial aid are available. Please reach out to me directly with any questions - DanJPeck (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thanks!
Dan
Principal Tuba, New York City Ballet Orchestra
