ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
This staged work tells the story of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student whose 1998 murder in Laramie, Wyoming, became a pivotal moment in American history and sparked a national conversation about hate crimes and acceptance. Through its fusion of choral, solo and instrumental music, “Considering Matthew Shepard” reflects on Shepard’s life, the events surrounding his death, and his enduring legacy of compassion and hope.
