It’s Prince With Strings When ‘4U: A Symphonic Celebration of Prince’ Launches In September

– ‘4U: A Symphonic Celebration of Prince’

Presented by Live Nation Urban and TCG Entertainment, the September-October tour is the first and only official Estate-approved symphonic Prince tour.  The inaugural run of “4U: A Symphonic Celebration of Prince” begins in New Brunswick, N.J., Sept. 6.

Along with the music of Prince being re-interpreted through the wondrous capabilities of a symphonic orchestra, each show will feature a live band made up of world-class musicians and vocalists.

Adding yet another layer of Purple on the undertaking is Questlove, with The Roots’ leader curating the music and orchestral arrangements.

And the folks at Live Nation Urban, TCG Entertainment and The Prince Estate are very excited about the tour.

“We’re looking forward to working with Live Nation Urban and TCG Entertainment on this production and giving fans a unique experience,” said Troy Carter of The Prince Estate in a statement.
