Craig Hella Johnson’s masterful fusion oratorio, Considering Matthew Shepard, stands out immediately as one of the most original and innovative American works of the past several decades. Combining a remarkably broad range of musical styles, Johnson tells the heartbreaking, soul-shattering story of Matthew Shepard in powerful emotional and spiritual evocations that plumb the depths of anguish in order to seek greater understanding. Johnson has remarked that he created the work to explore a seemingly unanswerable question, “At the bottom of the suffering of this story, and among all of the suffering and death in the world, is the flame of love still present?” Join the Salt Lake Vocal Artists, soloists, instrumentalists, and audiovisual team as we explore better ways of understanding all people.

*Because higher risk individuals will be in attendance, masks are requested for all audience members.
This deeply touching piece will present portions of the traditional Requiem Mass texts, as well as scriptures adapted from the Gospels and the Song of Solomon. Set for choir and a small chamber orchestra, the work is intended to be accessible, yet profound, poignant and celebratory- spiritual yet not formally liturgical. Utilizing timeless, folk-like melodies, and quoting from and alluding to Appalachian shape-note hymns, this new work is a deeply personal composition by Timothy Michael Powell commemorating the life and loss of his daughter.
The program will also feature both sets of Aaron Copland’s “Old American Songs” and “The Promise of Living” from his opera The Tender Land.
