CMHoF, Keith Urban Team For Education Program

The Country Music Hall of Fame^® and Museum will host an educational program featuring Keith Urban on Thurs., Sept. 6 at 10 AM/CT. Selected Metro Nashville Public School high school students will be able to attend All Access: Keith Urban in the museum’s Ford Theater.

Although the program is not open to the public and the school registration period is closed, the event will be live-streamed at www.countrymusichalloffame.org and www.keithurban.net. Interested educators and music fans are encouraged to watch online. The 75-minute program will be moderated by Museum Editor Michael Gray.

“In this special program, students will hear Keith talk about the craft of songwriting, his influences and creative inspirations, seminal moments in his career and more,” explained Ali Tonn, the museum’s director of education and public programs. “They will also have the opportunity to ask him questions. This program is the first of its kind for the museum and will serve as a ‘pilot’ of sorts; we hope to be able to offer more All Access educational programs when our museum expansion is completed in 2014.”

Urban has for years been a generous supporter of the museum: His annual We’re All for the Hall concerts, which began in 2009, have raised approximately $1.5 million to date, and exponentially increased awareness of the institution and its mission.
