Fast Forward Music Festival features a mixture of diverse musical performances alongside seminars, workshops, open rehearsals and more celebrating all corners of the musical work.

This year the Fast Forward Music Festival will showcase a flagship performance by the British Paraorchestra which is the world's first professional ensemble of disabled musicians. The ensemble is led by conductor Charles Hazlewood alongside the Inner Vision Orchestra which is the UK's only blind ensemble which was "established to give it's members the opportunity to be respected as musicians."
