National Symphony Orchestra DECLASSIFIED: Ben Folds Presents

Ben Folds is widely regarded as one of the major music influencers of our generation. For over a decade he’s shared the stage with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras, performing his pop hits and critically acclaimed concerto for Piano and Orchestra. Folds has created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and collaborative records with artists from Sara Bareilles and Regina Spektor, to William Shatner. His most recent album is a blend of pop and classical original works that soared to #1 on both the Billboard classical and classical crossover charts. Recently named as the first ever Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra, Folds continues to perform with symphonies and also recently returned to cross country solo touring reminiscent of his earliest years, delivering a high energy rock performance using the intimacy of just a piano.
