Inspired by the 1998 murder of a young gay man in Wyoming Craig Hella Johnson’s Considering Matthew Shepard premiered in 2016 and has since been performed by more than 30 ensembles around the world sharing the work’s message of compassion and understanding.

This three-part fusion oratorio with choir and orchestra speaks with a fresh and bold voice incorporating a variety of musical styles seamlessly woven into a unified whole.
