Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Chamber Sounds with Ben Folds
Sydney Symphony Orchestra • 16m
Watch Ben Folds and musicians from the Sydney Symphony in this inspiring and spontaneous collaboration.
Using lyrics submitted by poetry competition winner Matthew Galer as their inspiration, Ben Folds and the musicians worked together for 25 minutes to create and perform the final result.
As Ben eloquently phrases it, “we’re making it up as we go along”.
Lyrics by Matthew Galer

when we were kept apart.
Filmed with the support of our partners at City Recital Hall.
