With an intriguing recital program of 10 works, Will Liverman has selected a varied vocal repertoire for the evening that offers a journey through spirituals, chamber, show and folk music, hailing from a range of composers and arrangers. CMNW Artistic Director and pianist Gloria Chien will join Liverman to perform in this intimate and powerful recital. Called "a voice for this historic moment" (The Washington Post), Grammy-nominated baritone Will Liverman took the Metropolitan Opera by storm last fall as Charles in Terence Blanchard's Fire Shut Up in My Bones. Following Fire's success, the Met announced that Liverman will star in Anthony Davis' X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X. The second opera by a Black composer in the company's history, X has its premiere November 2023.
