Will Liverman is "...one of the most versatile singing artists performing today, being equally skilled in classical repertoire and less mainstream works..." – Bachtrack
Community and celebration are at the forefront of Chicago Sinfonietta’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Tribute concert. Opening the concert are three Florence Price works - Ethiopia’s Shadow in America, Song of the Dark Virgin, and Night, sung by renowned baritone Will Liverman. Selections from Felix Mendelssohn’s ELIJAH are next, followed by two Chicago premieres: Jessie Montgomery’s Soul Force, and Emmy-nominated Artist-in-Residence Kathryn Bostic’s work The Great Migration, with baritone Will Liverman returning as narrator.
