The recital will also include William Grant Still's "Grief," selections from Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Songs of Travel," and a captivating set of Four Spirituals, among other works by Gabriel Fauré, Franz Schubert, Carl Loewe, and Sergei Rachmaninoff.

This performance is not just a showcase of Liverman's exceptional talent but also a journey through a carefully curated selection of pieces that highlight the emotional and expressive depth of the voice-piano duo. Myra Huang, celebrated for her artistry and collaboration, will join Liverman in bringing these compositions to life, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the power of song in the hands of masters.
