Ben Folds released a defiant live album with the National Symphony Orchestra, months after he resigned due to Trump taking over the Kennedy Center.
Folds was named the NSO’s first artistic advisor in 2017, and recorded the live album last October at the Concert Hall of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. “It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, and the entire NSO staff, encouraging thousands of fresh new audiences to appreciate symphonic music. The live album was recorded over two nights at the Kennedy Center, where Folds performed his hits and new music with special guests Regina Spektor and Tall Heights.
