Sobre el programa...

The luminous Joyce DiDonato, one of the most celebrated vocalists of the 21st century, lends her mellifluous mezzo-soprano to the introspective, off-kilter, humorous and heartbreaking poetry of Emily Dickinson in Emily – No Prisoner Be, a boundary-blurring song cycle written for her by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts that "pulsates with restlessness" (New York Times). Joined by the Grammy-winning trio Time for Three, gifted instrumentalists and singers who envelop solo lines with lush harmonies, DiDonato pays homage to the famously reclusive poet with a fully committed theatrical performance of a cycle that she calls "the pinnacle of great, masterful storytelling through music and poetry." A series of accomplished art songs with modern flair, Emily – No Prisoner Be is a unique musical experience in which "artistic currents come together with a confident, wide-reaching manner of expression" (Gramophone).
