Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of vocal brilliance as Grammy Award-winning baritone Will Liverman makes his Caramoor debut, accompanied by the acclaimed pianist Myra Huang. This exceptional recital is set to take place in the intimate setting of the Music Room at Caramoor on Sunday, March 24, 2024, at 3:00pm in Katonah, NY.

Will Liverman, described by The Washington Post as "a voice for this historic moment," has captivated audiences worldwide with his versatile performances. Following his breakout role at the Met’s 2021-22 season opener and his Grammy-winning performance in Terence Blanchard’s "Fire Shut Up in My Bones," Liverman continues to explore significant works, including his recent portrayal in Anthony Davis’ "X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X."

The program promises an afternoon of rich musical exploration, featuring Michael Ippolito's "The Long Year," a song cycle dedicated to Liverman and premiered by him at the Kennedy Center in 2022. 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.
