Sunday, August 23, 4:00 p.m.

Tryon, North Carolina

Dynamic Duo Melissa McCann and Michael Langer Bring A Voice Between Worlds to Tryon. Acclaimed soprano Melissa McCann and accomplished recording artist and performer Michael Langer will present A Voice Between Worlds. The tour-de-force recital will also feature guest tenor Tyler Young.

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.

With virtuosic music, dramatic storytelling, and the thrill of voice and piano in full partnership, A Voice Between Worlds promises an intimate and exhilarating afternoon at Holy Cross Episcopal Church.
