Newport Bloom Festival

Join us for our 5th annual wild and wonderful celebration featuring live entertainment, art, beer garden, food trucks, local merchants, the Oregon Coast Art Bus, surf swap, and so much more. Chet speaks about some of his work at the Hatfield Marine Science Center and performs some new and old works for Optron. A great opportunity to enjoy some fabulous food and festivities, while connecting as a community. Fun for all ages, pets welcome, admission is free!

My residency will wrap up in a culminating concert, talk, and Q&A in the Hatfield Gladys Valley Marine Science Building Auditorium. Three world premiers, live performances, sound compositions, and some remarks about each work will be presented. It a way to share with the community many of the significant things I experienced and learned while getting to work here.
