“An enthralling work.”

The New York Times

An acclaimed première from the Bregenzer Festspiele comes to The Conrad.

GRAMMY® Award winners Joyce DiDonato and Time For Three share the stage in a unique collaboration that blends voice, strings, and storytelling to illuminate Dickinson’s words in a fresh and moving way.

Emily–No Prisoner Be unites Emily Dickinson’s poetry with Pulitzer Prize-winner Kevin Puts’ luminous 24-part song cycle, created for GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Joyce DiDonato and genre-defying ensemble Time for Three. With music which feels at once familiar and new, Emily Dickinson’s poetry and Puts’ music feel as if they have always belonged together.
