Culminating more than two decades of performing with some of the world’s greatest orchestras, indie music icon Ben Folds performs his hits and new music with the NSO in a live orchestral concert album conducted by Steven Reineke and recorded to sold-out audiences over two nights at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the Fall of 2024.
Widely regarded as one of the major music influences of our generation, the Emmy-nominated artist’s enormous body of genre-bending sound includes pop anthems with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and numerous collaborative records. In 2015, his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra debuted at #1 on both the Billboard classical and classical crossover charts. His latest pop album was released in 2023 to rave reviews and sold-out performances, and was followed with the release of his critically-acclaimed holiday album in 2024.
