About the Event

Experience the music of Five for Fighting in a transformative setting as the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter John Ondrasik performs his chart-topping hits with a live string quartet. From the soaring emotion of “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” to the timeless reflection of “100 Years,” this special performance reimagines the music of Five for Fighting with lush, cinematic arrangements that elevate every note. Blending the intimacy of a storyteller’s concert with the elegance of classical strings, Ondrasik brings depth, warmth, and fresh meaning to his most beloved songs. Interwoven with family-friendly stories and heartfelt commentary, this concert offers more than music—it’s a deeply human experience. 

About Five for Fighting 

John Ondrasik, the platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated artist known as Five for Fighting, has built a career around deeply human storytelling, soaring melodies, and social conscience. Bursting onto the scene with the global hit “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” he became a defining voice of the early 2000s, later penning timeless anthems like “100 Years,” “The Riddle,” and “Chances.” His songs—featured in more than 350 films, TV shows, and commercials—have earned over a billion streams, placing him among the top Hot Adult Contemporary artists of the decade. From performing at the 2001 Concert for New York to touring internationally with his poignant string quartet concerts, Ondrasik has proven that great songwriting transcends genre. Classically trained, he blends musical and intellectual rigor with accessible emotion.
