Baritone Will Liverman is on a roll: hot on the heels of Malcolm X and winning a Grammy in 2023 for Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones at the Metropolitan Opera, he has a new song album out Show Me The Way, an opera Factotum that companies across the US are queuing up to perform, and makes his BBC Proms debut next month before returning to Dutch National Opera and a host of other engagements in Europe. He performs the Sibelius Origin of Fire at Tanglewood on Friday and talks to Charlotte Wilson about his musical passions, inspirations and singing in Finnish.
Will Liverman performs Sibelius: The Origin of Fire with Andris Nelsons, the Tanglewood Festival Chorus and Boston Symphony in the Koussevitzky celebration concert Friday July 26, 8pm at Tanglewood at the Music Shed.
