Event Details
Ben Folds is an Emmy-nominated singer-songwriter who has created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, a holiday album, and numerous collaborative records.
He currently tours as a pop artist, while also performing for over two decades with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras.
Folds, who served for eight years as the first ever Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, stepped down from his post when Donald Trump announced his takeover of the Center. Just days before the US presidential election, Folds recorded two sold out performances with the NSO which he released as a live album in 2025 that debuted at the top of the Billboard classical and classical crossover charts.

A New York Times Best Selling author, Ben also creates new music for film, tv and theatre, including original songs for an ongoing series of animated Peanuts specials on Apple TV.
In 2022, he launched a music education charitable initiative in his native state of North Carolina entitled “Keys For Kids,” which provides funds and keyboards to existing nonprofits that offer free or affordable piano lessons to school-age children from economically disadvantaged households. For the past 15 years he has been an outspoken advocate for arts funding, music education and music therapy in the US as a member of Americans For The Arts and the Arts Action Fund.
Supporting Act: Lindsey Kraft
Lindsey Kraft is a pianist, songwriter, and storyteller whose work blends sharp wit, emotional candor, and theatrical flair. After more than 20 years as a television and film actress known for her comedic timing and grounded performances, Kraft began a bold creative reinvention—learning piano from scratch at age 38 in order to tell her own stories through music. What began as a personal experiment quickly evolved into a powerful new artistic voice, one rooted in humor, vulnerability, and lived experience.
In just over four years, Kraft has emerged as a compelling live performer and musical creator, opening for Ben Folds on multiple tours and developing her first semi-autobiographical musical, We've Been Here Before. Her piano-driven songs balance clever lyrical turns with moments of genuine tenderness, reflecting a deep understanding of life’s absurdities and emotional stakes. Whether onstage or on the page, Kraft’s work challenges conventional ideas of creative timing, proving that reinvention can be both fearless and transformative. As she continues to build her musical world, Lindsey Kraft is stepping fully into her role as a storyteller—one song at a time.
