Community Impact

There are veterans depending on Straz Center programs to help them live with PTSD; there are extraordinarily talented children who have no other access to training except when our teachers come to their schools; there is no greater way to bridge the divides between us socially and politically than by uniting in the experience of creativity.

Synopsis

Piano man Ben Folds was an unlikely alternative music star in the ‘90s, leading a guitar-less trio (Ben Folds Five, of course) during grunge’s guitar-heavy heyday. Since then, he’s maintained a solo career in music while branching out into film scoring, photography, podcasting and producing: He helmed William Shatner’s 2004 album, Has Been. He’s headed back behind the piano and back on the road for another Paper Airplane Request Tour at which fans request songs by – yes! – throwing paper airplanes at Folds.
