Choral Arts Ensemble: Considering Matthew Shepard

Our 2026-27 season begins with the powerful contemporary choral work Considering Matthew Shepard. Written by Minnesota composer Craig Hella Johnson, this three part oratorio is a compassionate and deeply human piece centered around the murder of Matthew Shepard. It weaves together excerpts from Matthew's own journal, reflections from his family, interview and news accounts, and poetry and spiritual texts to create a story of hope, compassion, and our shared responsibility to one another. Performances from October 24th to November 1st. October 24th at 7:00pm October 25th at 3:00pm October 30th at 7:00pm October 31st at 3:00pm November 1st at 3:00pm Details and ticketing information at www.choralartsensemble.org
