After his sold-out appearance in 2024, Ben Rector makes his return to the Music Hall stage! In Symphonies Across America, audiences will experience a new dimension to Ben’s music that can only be experienced at the symphony. Pulling from more than 15 years of cross-country travel as a touring artist, Ben will bring anthem sing-a-longs, quippy humor and deep, meaningful lyrics — all beautifully backed by the immersive power of a symphony orchestra. Joining Ben on his symphony tour across America is his good friend, Jon McLaughlin, who’s no stranger to the symphony stage with his signature piano-driven sound. Come take a road trip with Ben, Jon and the Cincinnati Pops!

There will be one 20-minute intermission.

Please do not record the concert.

The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra is grateful to Pops Season Presenter PNC.

The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is grateful for the support of the Louise Dieterle Nippert Musical Arts Fund of the Greenacres Foundation and the Nina Browne Parker Trust, and for the thousands of people who give generously to the ArtsWave Community Campaign, the region’s primary source for arts funding. This project was supported in part by the Ohio Arts Council, which receives support from the State of Ohio and the National Endowment for the Arts. 

The CSO in-orchestra Steinway piano is made possible in part by the Jacob G. Schmidlapp Trust.
