Ben Folds joins forces with conductor Steven Reineke and the National Symphony Orchestra for a live album recorded over two sold-out nights at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in autumn 2024. Culminating more than twenty years of orchestral collaborations, the concert captures Folds performing a career-spanning set of solo work, Ben Folds Five favourites, and new material in sweeping symphonic form.
Widely seen as a defining figure in alternative pop, the Emmy-nominated artist has built an eclectic discography that includes chart-topping classical work—his 2015 Concerto for Piano and Orchestra debuted at #1 on Billboard’s classical and classical crossover charts—as well as a critically acclaimed 2023 pop album and a 2024 holiday release. This live recording highlights his unique blend of wit, melody, and musical ambition on a grand stage.
