Ben Folds
with the Minnesota OrchestraFri Oct 6 — Sat Oct 7, 2023
Orchestra Hall
If you've ever seen Ben Folds live, you know what to expect: quirky melodies, impromptu creation, and an epic love-fest between audience and musicians. He's been making genre-bending music for over three decades and he's bringing his impressive catalog, charming (and very quirky) personality, and a few surprises back to the Orchestra Hall stage as he hits the road with a new album, What Matters Most.
The Grammy Award-winning Minnesota Orchestra, led by Danish conductor Thomas Søndergård—who is serving as music director designate during the 2022-23 season—is recognized for distinguished performances around the world, award-winning recordings and broadcasts, educational engagement programs, and commitment to building the orchestral repertoire of the future. Founded in 1903, the Orchestra has an extensive history of touring throughout Minnesota, nationally and abroad, including high-profile visits in recent years to Cuba, Europe and South Africa. Recording projects undertaken in the past two decades include complete cycles of symphonies by Beethoven, Sibelius and Mahler, all recorded under Osmo Vänskä, who is now the Orchestra’s conductor laureate.
