The New Music Forum is an annual festival founded in 2020 by the UHO Society. It continues the tradition of the now-defunct Slowind Festival by presenting classical music from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with particular emphasis on the past two decades. The programme includes a wide range of contemporary classical music concerts, often accompanied by pre-concert talks. Additional festival events may include book presentations, workshops, and other activities. The programme is usually organised around a featured composer, such as John Cage, Lojze Lebič, Vinko Globokar, or Agata Zubel, or a central theme, such as Music and Media, Folklore Melodies, or A Paradigm Shift.
