Ben Folds Shares Open Letter About The Fate Of The National Symphony Orchestra

In February 2025, Ben Folds resigned his position as Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra in response to Donald Trump taking over the Kennedy Center. It only got worse from there; by the end of the year, it was announced that the historic performing arts establishment was being renamed the Trump-Kennedy Center. Backlash ensued, and just last week a federal judge ordered Trump's name off the building. Today, Ben Folds shared an open letter regarding the fate of the National Symphony Orchestra. The post Ben Folds Shares Open Letter About The Fate Of The National Symphony Orchestra appeared first on Stereogum.
