A program of coloratura, character, and virtuoso piano, A Voice Between Worlds brings together the music of Liszt, Strauss, and Weill in a recital built for dramatic contrast and musical electricity. With McCann’s agile soprano and Langer’s commanding pianism, the program moves from Romantic intensity to theatrical brilliance, placing voice and piano in equal partnership. The recital opens in the Romantic world of Liszt and Strauss before turning to the unforgettable theatre songs of Kurt Weill. In the final set, guest tenor Tyler Young joins McCann, adding a second voice to Weill’s world of memory, wit, and character.
