This concert offers a reflective and powerful exploration of the life and legacy of Matthew Shepard, featuring a three-part fusion oratorio that speaks with a bold, contemporary voice. Performed by the Greenwood Singers and musical guests, the work weaves together an array of musical styles and a wide range of poetic and personal texts—including writings by Michael Dennis Browne, Lesléa Newman, Hildegard of Bingen, Rumi, and passages from Matthew’s own journal. Interviews, family reflections, newspaper accounts, and additional writings by the composers are seamlessly integrated, creating a unified and poignant tribute that invites audiences to reflect on compassion, acceptance, and the enduring need to stand against hate.
