Albany Pro Musica will present the Capital Region premiere of Considering Matthew Shepard, an evocative choral drama by acclaimed composer Craig Hella Johnson. This work reflects on the life, death, and legacy of Matthew Shepard, a young man whose brutal murder in 1998 became a catalyst for social change and a pivotal moment in the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights. We spoke with Albany Pro Musica's Opalka Family Artistic Director Jose Daniel Flores-Caraballo about the piece and about some of the community outreach events that they are sponsoring.
