At the centre of the first of four festival afternoon concerts in the new Rudolf Buchbinder Hall stands the great American poet Emily Dickinson. Pulitzer Prize winner Kevin Puts has created a song cycle that sets 24 of her poems to music, working closely with celebrated mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato and the award-winning ensemble Time for Three. According to Joyce DiDonato, each of these poems opens «its own cosmos», with the short title-giving poem at the end: «No Prisoner be — / Where Liberty — / Himself — abide with Thee —».
