With over 150 people in attendance, 8 hours of music, 8 ensembles, one killer In C jam, a food truck, baked goods, koozies, tats and tees, the first ever Fast Forward Austin was a HUGE success. We are so grateful to EVERYBODY who attended, volunteered, or performed. To top it off we’ve been able to give Anthropos Arts a healthy donation in support of their excellent programs that support free music lessons, workshops and performances in economically disadvantaged schools. Sometime during the raucous and joyful performance of In C, featuring artists from throughout the day and students from Anthropos, it became clear that Fast Forward Austin had struck a nerve and was here to stay. We can’t wait to start planning for next year!
