(CBS/AP) DENVER - If you want to see Phish frontman Trey Anastasio perform this winter, you'll have to head to a concert hall and not an arena.

The 47-year-old musician is planning his first orchestral tour, with at least four stops scheduled across the U.S. this winter.

Anastasio announced Monday that he'll open the tour with the Atlanta Symphony on Feb. 9 at Atlanta Symphony Hall. He'll also play orchestrations of Phish songs and his own works with the Pittsburgh Symphony on Feb. 14, the Colorado Symphony on Feb. 28 and the Los Angeles Philharmonic on March 10.

Anastasio is credited with writing more than 100 songs for Phish, as well as some others he has performed in his solo act.

Tickets for the Denver performance go on sale to the general public on Dec. 8.
