SUMMARY:Considering Matthew Shepard
LOCATION:Esplanade Recital Studio
DESCRIPTION:The Chorallective presents the Singapore premiere of Considerin
 g Matthew Shepard \, a groundbreaking 21st-Century fusion oratorio by Crai
 g Hella Johnson (USA)\, originally written in response to real-life events
  surrounding the titular character\, with music serving as a vehicle for m
 oving beyond tragedy and into understanding and healing\, fostering a cult
 ure of empathy that transcends differences.\n\nLed by Choy Siew Woon (Arti
 stic Director) and Seong Hui Xuan (Stage Director)\, the performance is a 
 gripping\, transformative exploration of universal themes — of mutual re
 spect\, grief management\, anti-violence\, social justice and the restorat
 ive power of community.\n\nBlending classical choral writing with other ge
 nres of musical theatre\, opera\, literary arts (spoken word)\, pop\, blue
 s and country music\, with a libretto that integrates a collection of text
  influenced by poetry\, journalism\, and artifacts\, Considering Matthew S
 hepard is a phenomenal crossover of musical styles that defies strict cate
 gorization\, and thus reflecting the "everyman" nature of the story and th
 e lessons learnt. The music finds its methods of expression in deep feelin
 g\, at once moving and galvanising. It’s everything we find we believe i
 n time and again: the power of music and language combined and concentrate
 d\, enough to fill the expanse of a night sky. Come and hear this story of
  us all.\n\nBoletos: https://www.esplanade.com/whats-on/2026/considering-m
