Ben Chavez: Last Day, County Fair

About the Program
Last Day, County Fair returns in an expanded new form, marking a focused evolution of the New/Now commissioning project and its mission to elevate Houston’s creative voices. Now reimagined as a staged concept album, the work blends theatrical narrative with original music to explore identity with profound resonance.
To preserve this story for a global audience, the project is currently being captured in a definitive studio recording for commercial release. This milestone transitions the piece from a live premiere into a permanent cultural document, ensuring Chavez’s message of community and self-acceptance reaches listeners everywhere.
New/Now is made possible by generous support from the Powell Foundation and the Performing Arts Houston Foundation through the Toby Maddox Fund for New Works.
