Dolly Parton may be done touring, but that doesn’t mean her music won’t still hit the road. The country icon has announced “Threads: My Songs in Symphony,” a special orchestral celebration of her music that’ll give her the opportunity to virtually tour the country.
As of now, only the first night of “Threads: My Songs in Symphony” has been announced, which’ll see Parton’s music illuminate Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center on March 20th, 2025, with the Nashville Symphony and a handful of “guest vocalists and musicians hand-picked by Dolly herself,” according to the event’s description.
As for the show’s actual content, fans can expect to hear hit songs like “Jolene,” “Coat Of Many Colors,” and “I Will Always Love You,” as well as “an as-yet unreleased selection from her upcoming Broadway musical.” Throughout the night, Parton’s life story will be told through an “innovative multimedia experience,” featuring her telling stories on screen.
Tickets for the Nashville performance will go on sale at a later date, but fans can sign up for updates on the Nashville Symphony website. After the opening night, Parton hopes to “take it far and wide to symphony orchestras everywhere.” No additional dates have been announced at this time, though.
Meanwhile, Parton has kept herself plenty busy recently. This September, her new cookbook, Good Lookin’ Cookin’ will arrive. Last year, she shared her star-studded rock album Rockstar, featuring Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Debbie Harry, Miley Cyrus, and many more.
