Will Liverman and Daan Boertien
Will Liverman excels in both well-known classical repertoire and lesser-known works. The American baritone, a versatile performer on major stages, recently won a Grammy for the best opera recording for the Metropolitan Opera’s Fire Shut Up In My Bones by Terence Blanchard. For his recital in Amsterdam, he collaborates with Dutch pianist Daan Boertien, renowned for his song accompaniment, often described as "a singer at the piano."
Burleigh, Vaughan Williams and Still
English, with its open vowels and lack of harsh consonants, is ideal for art songs, enhanced by a wealth of poetic texts. This concert features songs by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams and American composers Harry T. Burleigh and William Grant Still. The program also includes songs in French (Poulenc) and German (Richard Strauss), languages with a rich tradition of art song.
