Interdisciplinary Work
Loving You From a Foreign Country
Awarded the Joyful Abundance Emerging Artist Commissioning Award, Evan collaborated with composer Baldwin Giang to create “Loving You From a Foreign Country,” a new choral piece to be premiered in June 2026 by the Mendelssohn Chorus of Philadelphia at Rodeph Shalom, the oldest Ashkenazic synagogue in the Western Hemisphere. Joyful Abundance was originally commissioned by ArtPhilly as part of the What Now: 2026 Festival with lead support provided by the William Penn Foundation.
花心
A dynamic 11 part song cycle, “花心” is a collaboration between Evan and composer Matthew Hodge. Based on the poem Evan performed at the National Youth Poet Laureate Commencement Ceremony, this song cycle features the voice of Staley Clark. It is currently under progress.
