Pops Opening Night: Ben Folds
Sarah Rodman has the scoop...
"The Boston Pops will kick off their 2007 season with a dash of humor and rock 'n' roll, courtesy of the talented singer-songwriter Ben Folds. Folds is no stranger to classical-pop mashups, having recorded his 2005 album "Live From Perth" with the Western Australia Symphony Orchestra. He opens an eclectic season, conductor Keith Lockhart's 13th, that includes everything from Broadway favorites to gospel testifying, jazz grooves, and rock music."
No word yet on who will pick up the My Morning Jacket mantle for the "Pops on the Edge" series.
Other highlights of the season include: Singer Dianne Reeves, vibe man Gary Burton, and pianist Chick Corea in the Jazz Fest, Hollywood and Broadway nights, amd John Williams doing his film night thing.
Look for Sarah's story tomorrow for the rest.
