2021-2022 Concert Season:
- Friday, November 19 & Saturday, November 20, 7:30pm - CONSIDERING MATTHEW SHEPARD: The UWF Singers present the Florida premiere of this impactful work by Craig Hella Johnson. Considering Matthew Shepard is a 90-min. concert work that explores the Matt Shepard story and its effects. The work is often called a "fusion oratorio" because it blends so many different genres and styles -- from gospel to gregorian chant, from baroque to country, there is something for every palate. Content Awareness: Some of the material explores the attack, murder, and death of Matt Shepard. Other moments illustrate the hateful protests that happened in the media around the time of the funeral. But, other elements are full of joy and light.
