Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Ben Folds headlines the next must-see concert in his popular DECLASSIFIED series of laid-back, late-night NSO performances. At this special Kennedy Center-exclusive event, Ben will premiere NEW music from his anticipated upcoming album—you don't want to miss this "part concert, part party" celebration!

Conducted by Enrico Lopez-Yañez, the program also features performances by Grammy®-nominated singer/songwriter/viral sensation Cody Fry and acclaimed multi-hyphenate Leyla McCalla (formerly of the Grammy-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops).

The Concert Hall show begins at 8pm, but be sure to come early for drinks and exciting pre-performance activities, including free beer tasting from Port City Brewing! 

About NSO DECLASSIFIED: NSO Artistic Advisor Ben Folds curates and hosts this unique "part concert, part party" event that defies the traditional classical music presentation by shining a spotlight on great live music performed by the NSO and special guests in a laid-back and relaxed setting.
