Considering Matthew Shepard
540 S Commonwealth Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90020
USA
Conspirare's Grammy® award-winning Artistic Director & Conductor Craig Hella Johnson will premiere his groundbreaking new work Considering Matthew Shepard on February 27th at the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles. Following a 2014 Grammy for Best Choral Performance, and a recent nomination in the same category, Conspirare will deliver a poignant concert experience, inspiring hope, compassion and empowerment.
In October 1998 a shocking hate crime was committed against Matthew Shepard who was brutally beaten and left tied to a fence to die.
The singers and instrumentalists will lead the listener through a tapestry of musical textures in this contemporary oratorio with styles such as chant, choral movements, arias, folk and theater songs.
Conspirare is a Grammy® award-winning vocal ensemble that creates exceptional concert experiences and recordings. With the world-class artistry of its extraordinary voices and the incomparable direction of conductor Craig Hella Johnson, Conspirare performances are musical magic.
