Ben Folds And The National Symphony Orchestra – Ben Folds Live With The National Symphony Orchestra

Description

Release Date 11th July 2025

Signed White Colour Vinyl LP

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.
