SUMMARY:Considering Matthew Shepard
DESCRIPTION:In this performance\nConsidering Matthew Shepard by Craig Hella Johnson \nOn the music\nAs global challenges to LGBTQ+ rights intensify\, Craig Hella Johnson’s Considering Matthew Shepard stands as a profoundly relevant and moving work. Performed by the Toronto Mendelssohn Singers\, this 21st-century secular passion reflects on love\, loss\, and the enduring human capacity for compassion. \nThe oratorio reflects on the life and tragic death of Matthew Shepard\, whose 1998 murder became a catalyst for LGBTQ+ advocacy. Blending classical\, jazz\, and folk influences with texts drawn from poets\, mystics\, historical sources\, and writings connected to Shepard’s life—including a brief excerpt from his own correspondence—the work creates a powerful space for reflection and remembrance. Presented in a semi-staged performance\, it offers a poignant call for empathy\, compassion\, and understanding. \nSubscribe & Save \nSubscriptions are now on sale! Single tickets will be available in Summer 2026.
