Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs in Symphony
March 28
You may not be a country music fan, but everyone speaks Dolly Parton. From crooning about a woman with “flaming locks of auburn hair” trying to get her hooks into her man on her breakthrough song “Jolene” or setting the frustrations of office life to music in “9 to 5,” there’s something about the songwriter’s oeuvre that everyone can relate to. Apparently, her songs translate well to the classical realm. The Phoenix Symphony will perform Parton’s music while videos featuring the singer (who will not be in attendance but has produced the show) tell the stories behind the songs.7:30 p.m. Check website for ticket prices. Arizona Financial Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix, 602-514-2919, livenation.com
