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.
