About the event
Emmy-Award nominated composer, singer-songwriter, and pianist Ben Folds joins the Detroit Symphony for two nights of exceptional performances. Widely regarded as one of the major musical influences of our generation, Folds’s enormous body of genre-bending music includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and numerous collaborative records. His latest album, 2023’s What Matters Most, is a blend of piano-driven pop rock songs, while his 2015 Concerto for Piano and Orchestra soared to #1 on both the Billboard classical and classical crossover charts. For nearly two decades, Folds has performed with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras, and currently serves as Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center.
