The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center

<h3>An acclaimed première from the Bregenzer Festspiele comes to The Conrad.</h3>
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.

<h3>GRAMMY®-winning guitarist and vocalist celebrates iconic singer Tony Bennett</h3>
John Pizzarelli, the GRAMMY®-winning guitarist and vocalist, honors Tony Bennett’s centennial with a heartfelt tribute rooted in his family’s long connection to the legendary singer. His father, Bucky Pizzarelli, frequently performed with Bennett, and John later joined the icon for a memorable radio session. Bennett often attended Pizzarelli’s shows and even sketched him—one drawing now appears on his album cover Dear Mr. Bennett.
John Pizzarelli has been hailed by the Boston Globe for “reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz.” The John Pizzarelli Trio is celebrated for its chemistry and versatility and brings warmth and swing to this celebration of Bennett’s enduring artistry.
