The Denison University Chamber Singers, conducted by Harris Ipock, present a performance of the oratorio “Considering Matthew Shepard.” The performance will feature a chamber ensemble of mostly Denison faculty members, as well as an appearance by the Denison Concert Choir.
Inspired by the 1998 murder of a young gay man in Wyoming, Craig Hella Johnson composed “Considering Matthew Shepard,” a fusion oratorio. Conspirare, GRAMMY® -winning choir, premiered the work in 2016 and later toured the country with performances. Since then, the composition has been performed by more than 30 choirs around the world and selected songs are sung by high school and college choirs, sharing the work’s message of compassion and understanding.
This three-part fusion oratorio speaks with a fresh and bold voice, incorporating a variety of musical styles seamlessly woven into a unified whole. Johnson sets a wide range of poetic and soulful texts by poets including Hildegard of Bingen, Lesléa Newman, Michael Dennis Browne, and Rumi. Passages from Matt’s personal journal, interviews and writings from his parents Judy and Dennis Shepard, newspaper reports, and additional texts by Johnson and Browne are poignantly appointed throughout the work.
Tickets are not needed for this event.
The Denison Wind Ensemble, led by Visiting Instructor Matthew Shane Henry, and the Concert Choir, under the direction of Dr. Harris Ipock, present a spring concert titled “Homeward Bound.” The concert will begin with repertoire from some of the great 20th-century composers for winds, including Persichetti and Dello Joio, followed by a joint performance of wonderfully uplifting literature for winds and choir by eminent composers such as Whitacre and Copland.
This performance will take place in Sharon Martin Hall, located within the Michael D. Eisner Center for the Performing Arts.

Now Airing Nationwide: Considering Matthew Shepard on PBS!
A Chicago Tribune Top 10 Classical Concert of 2018: “The long-awaited Chicago-area premiere of this oratorio, a profound contemplation on the 1998 murder of gay college student, Shepard, proved to be not only one of the most moving performances of the year but also one of the most hopeful.”
“Much more than just one man’s story. In some respects, it was everyone’s story, a reflection on human travails and heavenly aspirations.” – Howard Reich
Conspirare’s current touring project, Considering Matthew Shepard, is a Grammy-nominated three-part oratorio composed by Craig Hella Johnson. The work, which debuted at number four on Billboard’s Traditional Classical Chart, is an evocative and compassionate musical response to the murder of Matthew Shepard. Matthew Shepard was a young, gay college student at the University of Wyoming who in October 1998 was kidnapped, severely beaten, tied to a fence and left to die in a lonely field under a blanket of stars. When Shepard passed away, five days later, an offended world looked on Composer Craig Hella Johnson had a profoundly personal reaction to both the murder and its resonance.
