Grappling with the brutal 1998 murder of a young gay man who has become an American icon and a symbol for hope and empowerment\, this moving work weaves together musical styles that include country and western\, gospel\, and chant with lyrics taken from Matt Shepard’s personal journal\, writings from his parents\, newspaper reports\, and poetic texts. \nJoined by the Dessoff Orchestra\, guest soloists\, and the Brooklyn College Conservatory Singers\, Dessoff will give a lightly staged performance under the baton of Music Director Malcolm J. Merriweather and co-directed by WQXR’s Elliott Forrest (Peabody-winning broadcaster\, producer\, and director) and Rod Caspers. \nThis performance is dedicated to the memory of longtime Dessoff member Erika “E” Rohrbach. \nPROGRAM: \nConsidering Matthew Shepard (2016) (New York Premiere) – Craig Hella Johnson (b. 1962) \nSOLOISTS: \nMatthew Cahill as Matthew Shepard\nTami Petty\, soprano\nMarkel Reed\, baritone \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA note to our community regarding COVID-19 \nWe are so excited to be able to welcome our audience back to in-person performances!
