Schubert, Burleigh, Larsen
24 October 2024, 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Will Liverman is one of today’s most exciting American baritones, equally acclaimed on the opera and song stages. Of his 2023 Lincoln Center recital, Operawire wrote, ‘Liverman’s performance explored an extraordinary depth of emotional intelligence and expansive intuition through works that expressed a world of infinite hope, empowerment, and transcending awareness.’ We are thrilled to welcome him to the Festival with his regular duo partner, the outstanding pianist Jonathan King. They perform a group of songs by Schubert, as well as music by Harry T Burleigh, Libby Larsen and Will Liverman himself.
