Renowned mezzo-soprano and 2025/26 CSO Artist-in-Residence Joyce DiDonato takes center stage in Emily, an extraordinary collaboration with the classical-roots string trio Time For Three. Together, they bring to life 24 vivid poems by Emily Dickinson, set to music by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts (The Hours, Silent Night). Bold, enigmatic and deeply evocative, Dickinson’s poetry finds new resonance in this captivating musical journey.
