Choral Arts Northwest: Considering Matthew Shepard
Pay-as-you-can from $1 ($25 suggested donation)
Choral Arts Northwest presents a staged performance of Craig Hella Johnson's Considering Matthew Shepard in collaboration with Seattle area high schools and LGBTQ+ choirs. Composed in 2016 by Craig Hella Johnson, this dramatic oratorio depicts the story of Matt, a 21-year-old gay student at the University of Wyoming who was murdered in a 1998 hate crime. The music takes us on a journey of Matt's story with music ranging from Bach to musical theatre, from country to soul, inviting us to come together as a community and to expand our care and empathy for one another, no matter our differences.
Choral Arts NW has moved to a Pay as Able pricing structure in order to allow ANYONE from any economic status to attend our concerts. Please choose a ticket price based on your ability to pay and your desire to help CANW bring its music to anyone and everyone. Thank you!
