    PIFA has commissioned Jonathan Leshnoff, one of the nation's most exciting young composers, to write a sacred work featuring texts from a variety of spiritual and worldly sources, sung in several languages. The work receives its world premiere on April 24, performed by The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, Roberto Minczuk conducting, and featuring four soloists, including Grammy-Award winning world fusion singer Angelique Kidjo and award-winning jazz vocalist and composer David Linx. They will be joined by the Pennsylvania Girlchoir and the Mendelssohn Club Chorus of Philadelphia. This event is part of the 2011 Philadelphia International Festival Of The Arts (PIFA).
