Craig Hella Johnson’s three-part oratorio, Considering Matthew Shepard, will be performed in Burlington by the ​renowned Elora Singers, one of the finest chamber choirs in Canada. It is a fusion of musical styles, of poetry and ​prose, drawing from the events, the rural Wyoming setting, and from Matthew’s own notebooks.  It is offered to ​the public free of charge by the combined sponsorship of five welcoming and affirming local churches.
