With his impressive career, Ben Folds, Emmy Award-nominated singer-songwriter and creative force behind Ben Folds Five, has become one of the most versatile artists of his generation. He has released several solo albums and collaborated with Regina Spektor, Nick Hornby and Amanda Palmer, among others. But he is perhaps best known for his collaborations with the world's leading symphony orchestras, including the renowned National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) in the United States. 

During his unique Paper Airplane Request Tour, the audience plays an active role. Fans can expect a two-fold performance. In the first half of the show, he’ll feature his hit songs from a predetermined setlist, and after an intermission, will mix in requests of the audience’s favorite Ben Folds’ songs thrown on stage via paper airplane. At a certain time during the show’s second half, he’ll cue the audience on when to launch their paper airplane requests. Prepare your own paper airplane in advance requesting your favorite Ben Folds’ song or make one at the venue using the available pen and paper.
