Tickets are now on sale for our Spring 2025 concert, Considering Matthew Shepard! https://bit.ly/4jUV8Zq Join us on May 30th and 31st at 8pm at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Rittenhouse Square for this unforgettable work from composer, Craig Hella Johnson, presented by Philadelphia Voices of Pride (PVOP) Choir! In this Grammy-nominated, three-part oratorio, Johnson weaves a complex, evocative, and compassionate musical response to the murder of Matthew Shepard. On October 6, 1998, University of Wyoming student, Matthew Shepard, was kidnapped, beaten, and left to die. In the wake of this horrific tragedy, the Matthew Shepard Foundation was founded by Matthew’s parents to catalyze conversation and legislative action to protect LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities from experiencing this same violence. Philadelphia Voices of Pride Choir is proud to present this moving and important show that remembers Matthew’s bright, funny, loving personality and reflects on our call to community and action. Now more than ever, we are standing together, singing with pride, and remembering that even in the darkest moments, love is stronger than fear. (fb)
