The 2025 Oregon Bach Festival begins with a mini-fest centered on Beethoven and showcases a diverse lineup of choral and instrumental performances over 17 days. Highlighted is the debut of Considering Matthew Shepard, a profound modern oratorio by Artistic Partner Craig Hella Johnson, which narrates the tragic story of Matthew Shepard through sacred music. The event promises stunning performances, including the tenor aria "The Innocence" sung by Brian Giebler. Festival-goers can explore the full schedule through OBF's interactive Upcoming Events page, anticipating a blend of genres and talented musicians.
"The musical story of Matthew Shepard's horrific death and beautiful life - sung in intimate quotes and in original text written by Johnson, Michael Dennis Browne and Lesléa Newman - is carried gently, as if on the winds."
"The tenor/choral aria 'The Innocence' is one very special moment: Folks, that stunning aria will be sung in this OBF concert by Brian Giebler."
