Developed in partnership with Schirmer Theatrical and SONY Music Publishing, this concert series combines orchestral arrangements by David Hamilton, visuals by Adam Grannick, and storytelling that explores Dollyâs songs, life, and stories in a full-evening symphonic journey.
Following its sold-out 2025 world premiere with the GRAMMY Award-winning Nashville Symphony, Dolly Partonâs Threads: My Songs in Symphony has toured with performances featuring orchestras, including the Cleveland Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, National Symphony Orchestra, Columbus Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, and Oklahoma City Philharmonic.
From this symphonic foundation, Dolly Partonâs Threads: My Songs in Symphony brings Dollyâs music to life with an ensemble of vocalists. Returning from the inaugural tour cast are vocalists Katelyn Drye, Hollie Hammel, Blair Lamb, and Julie Williams, plus musicians David Hamilton, Derek Drye, Lindsey Miller, Dean Berner, Gary Lunn, Chris Leidhecker, Ross McReynolds, and Luke Woodle. Joining for select 2026 dates are Katie Basden, Ally Jackson, Brian Fullen, Craig Nelson, and Duncan Mullins.
The 2026 tour will feature 27 performances across 12 cities, highlighting collaborations with some of the nationâs premier orchestras.
