The musician will perform with the DSO in a harmonious collaboration.
An old axiom says that “growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.” It’s a sentiment with which Ben Folds probably agrees.
“Part of the reason I really felt motivated to make the most recent album was — it’s just a fact that the kind of craft, the type of craft, style of craft that I do, that I grew up in, was a student of and have practiced for a good 30 years of my adult life is waning, is moving out,” Folds says from a Minneapolis tour stop. “If I have something to say, I should really double down on the craft ... and just go, ‘Look, this is an example of craft; it's just an offering.
Even in Ben Folds Five, the trio that first catapulted Folds to fame 30 years ago, he was able to move easily between the sober , the sneering and the deeply silly with relative ease. In the last 20 years, Folds has become a passionate champion of the arts broadly, but specifically civic orchestras across the country, frequently performing multiple nights with them and exhorting concert attendees to patronize the ensembles at times that acts like his aren’t sharing the stage.
In that way, Folds has smoothly pivoted from provocateur to professor, providing the sort of enlightenment in these austere settings he’s long been sharing on record — if only you cared to look and listen beyond the witty punchlines and arresting melodies. As Folds has matured, so, too, has his perspective on being acknowledged — or not — as a songwriter.
