To mark the beginning of Pride month in Baltimore, The Emmanuel Choir offers a reprise performance of the profoundly moving passion oratorio Considering Matthew Shepard. First presented at Emmanuel to great effect in June 2022, this powerful work tells the story of Matthew Shepard’s brutal 1998 beating and murder — and of the hope that transcends such tragedy — through music of varying styles: jazz, blues, country, and gospel included!

We suggest a donation of $25 per ticket for concerts featuring The Emmanuel Choir, but welcome a donation of any amount — smaller or greater — depending on one's ability to contribute. A ticket is required of all attendees, and may be obtained prior to the concert or at the door beginning 30 minutes prior to the performance.

We thank Emmanuel's Friends of Music for their ongoing and significant support of programming at Emmanuel. If you are intersted in becoming a Friend of Music, please click here.
