Widely regarded as one of the major musical influences of our time, pop sensation Ben Folds joins your ASO for an evening of genre bending music, performing his hit songs and more.
Folds, who has also composed critically acclaimed classical works of his own, has been traveling the globe performing with some of the world’s best orchestras for over a decade.
Named the first ever Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, the multi-platinum selling artist has recorded numerous solo and collaboration records, including music for film and TV and a classical piano concerto that topped the Billboard charts.
New York based Australian conductor Nicholas Buc leads the orchestra for this very special event. Nicholas has worked with Tina Arena on six Australian tours, and has also written arrangements for Missy Higgins, Ben Folds, Passenger, Eskimo Joe and The Whitlams.
