About this concert:
Join us for an evening of musical meditation as PVOP performs The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace, composed by Karl Jenkins. This powerful choral masterpiece waves together ancient texts, world music influences, and contemporary composition to create a sweeping meditation on the futility of war and a longing for peace. This performance marks PVOP's 20th anniversary.
As a reflection of our committment to social justice in our communities, a portion of this concert's proceeds will be donated to Anti-Violence Partnership of Philadelphia (AVP). AVP is a victim service agency based in West Philadelphia that provides a wide range of intervention, prevention, and support services to children, youth, adults, and families who have been a victim of violence and/or have lost a loved one to homicide.
