The following description comes from the event organizer.

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 in November. CMNW Artistic Director and pianist Gloria Chien will join Liverman to perform in this intimate
and powerful recital.

“...velvet-voiced baritone Will Liverman is out to make the classical music canon more inclusive…”
