Music lovers and Dolly Parton fans, get ready for a unique symphonic experience that’s about to hit Davies Symphony Hall. On August 1st, the San Francisco Symphony will present “Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs In Symphony” - a multimedia concert where the legendary artist will appear via video, guiding audiences through her incredible musical journey.

This innovative show isn’t your typical concert. Parton will be hosting the event onscreen, sharing personal stories and insights into her remarkable 60-year career. Audiences will be treated to reimagined orchestral versions of her iconic hits like “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” and “I Will Always Love You”.

The performance will feature an impressive lineup of guest vocalists, including Hollie Hammel, Julie Williams, and Katelyn Drye, who will bring Parton’s songs to life with full symphonic backing. Each performer has been carefully selected to capture the essence of Parton’s incredible musical legacy.

For those unfamiliar, 2023 was a banner year for Parton. Her 49th studio album “Rockstar” became her highest-charting record ever, reaching No. 3 on Billboard. Her cultural relevance continues to grow, with events like San Francisco’s Downtown First Thursdays even hosting a Dolly Parton Look-Alike Contest.

Parton herself describes the show as a deeply personal journey, stating, “The threads of my life are woven together through my songs”. This symphonic experience promises to be more than just a concert - it’s a narrative of her life, told through music.

Tickets are available for the 7:30 pm performance at Davies Symphony Hall. Whether you’re a die-hard Dolly fan or simply appreciate groundbreaking musical experiences, this show offers something truly special for everyone.
