Don Williams: Music & Memories of the Gentle Giant will take place at Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Center for three consecutive nights, beginning Oct. 31. The program will feature music by the Nashville Symphony, guest vocalists and footage from throughout Williams' incredible career. Urban will narrate the video footage.
"This style of show has never been done before in country music and it's very fitting that we present Don and his music to the fans in this way," Robert Pratt, Williams long-time manager, said in a press release. "Don was a very quiet and private person who loved performing for his legion of fans. I am especially happy to bring his music back to the fans and premiere this new show in Nashville with the symphony and then take it on the road throughout 2020."
Urban has been vocal about Williams' influence on him as an artist. In a statement, the country star said he was eager and honored to participate in the event.
"Don Williams and his music are strong threads in the tapestry of my life," Urban said in a statement. "I jumped at the chance to play even a small role in this incredible concert experience. There is no better way to celebrate him and his legacy than reliving those musical moments, and I'm honored to be part of continuing to share his story and music."
Single tickets for the event go on sale on July 19 at 10 a.m. CT.
