OCTOBER MOURNING: A SONG FOR MATTHEW SHEPARD

November 18, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Imagine historical events through more than just human eyes with the masterful poetry of Lesléa Newman’s book October Mourning, brought to life by a stunning score from local Long Beach composer Curtis Heard.

Join the South Coast Chorale, in collaboration with the First Congregational Church Sanctuary Choir, Landmark Theatre Company, Musique Sur La Mer Orchestra, Long Beach Youth Chorus, and members of the Wilson High School Choir as we share the unheard voices of the fence, the deer, the stars, and more in this musical narrative of the Matthew Shepard story that, 25 years later, still resonates far beyond the LGBTQ+ community.
