Ben Folds and Sir Mix-A-Lot are the latest to get into the orchestra game

You can check out an interview with the pop-rocker here.

And Sir Mix-A-Lot is going to be performing with the Seattle Orchestra in June:

This is officially a thing, y'all. And we have a lot of work to do here at SGS headquarters
