Highlighting the season is the regional premiere performance (March 4-5, 2017) of Mr. Johnson's own work, Considering Matthew Shepard. The other two concert programs feature works by some of today's most prominent composers including Jake Runestad and Eric Whitacre, as well as the fan favorite "Candlelit Christmas" performance.
