About this Event

Composer Craig Hella Johnson's first concert-length work, Considering Matthew Shepard is a three-part fusion oratorio incorporating a variety of musical styles seamlessly woven into a unified whole. The piece interpolates poetic and soulful texts by poets including Hildegard of Bingen, Lesléa Newman, Michael Dennis Browne, and Rumi into passages from Matt’s personal journal, words from his parents, newspaper reports, and additional texts by Johnson and Browne.
