Ben Folds & A Piano

$39-85

Presented by Squash & Porter

Supported by Laing Family Dentistry and Seth & Anna Baker

Ben Folds is widely regarded as one of the major music influencers of our generation.

The Emmy-nominated singer-songwriter-composer has created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and numerous collaborative records.

His latest pop solo album What Matters Most was released in 2023 to rave reviews and sold-out performances. He recently released his first Christmas album Sleigher in time for the 2024 holiday season, and recently record a LIVE album with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in DC slated for release in 2025.

He currently tours as a pop artist, while also performing with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras and serving in his 8th year as the first ever Artistic Advisor to the NSO. In his role as Artistic Advisor, Folds curates an ongoing concert series called “Declassified: Ben Folds Presents,” which pairs contemporary artists from all genres of music with the NSO.

A New York Times Best Selling author and former podcast host, Ben is also working on new compositions for film, tv and theatre. He also frequently guest stars in films and TV.

In 2022, Ben launched a music education charitable initiative in his native state of North Carolina entitled “Keys For Kids,” which provides funds and keyboards to existing nonprofits that offer free or affordable piano lessons to school-age children from economically-disadvantaged households. And he continually advocates for improving public policies for the arts and arts education on the national level as a member of Americans For The Arts and the Arts Action Fund.
