Emily — No Prisoner Be is a 24-part song cycle by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts, setting the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Written for Grammy Award-winning artists Joyce DiDonato and genre-defying ensemble Time for Three. Emily is a powerful meeting of voices across centuries—each one distinct, yet in perfect harmony. With music which feels at once familiar and new, brimming with energy, passion, and an undeniable chemistry between the performers. Emily Dickinson’s poetry and Puts’s music feel as if they have always belonged together. Joyce DiDonato, Chicago Symphony Orchestra Artist-in-Residence, and Time for Three perform Emily — No Prisoner Be at Symphony Center on February 10.

A benchmark work for classical vocal repertoire: part song cycle, part chamber music, part choral. Many singers will want to perform these accessible yet still innovative songs, but they’ll have to find collaborators as talented as Time for Three to really pull them off.
