Dance and Music Tell Matthew Sheppard’s Tragic Story

Premiered in 2020, Echo Chamber Ensemble’s A World Transformed tells the story of Matthew Sheppard, a young gay university student who was beaten, tortured, and left to die in 1998, bringing national attention to hate crime legislation. The piece combines new choreography with pre-existing chamber music by the likes of Britten, Vaughan Williams, and Amy Beach. It will be performed on Aug. 8 at Stratford Summer Music.
