Joyce DiDonato, Mezzo-Soprano
Time for Three

Thursday, February 19, 2026 8 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
Joyce DiDonato by Chris Singer, Time for Three by Shervin Lainez
Experience the New York premiere of Emily–No Prisoner Be, a highly anticipated semi-staged song cycle based on (and featuring) the poetry of Emily Dickinson. It’s the latest collaboration between Kevin Puts—a Pulitzer Prize winner and Musical America’s 2024 Composer of the Year; mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, who was called “a stunning triumph” (Variety) as Virginia Woolf in Puts’s The Hours; and the classically trained, genre-crossing Time for Three trio, whose recording of Puts’s Triple Concerto won multiple Grammy Awards in 2023. Hear the next chapter in this special collaboration between uniquely daring artists.
