Relive The Best Of The 1980s With The South Bend Symphony in April
Conducted by GRAMMY-nominated Alastair Willis and featuring lead vocalists Brie Cassil, Paul Loren, and Colin Smith.
Get ready to journey back in time to the era of big hair, neon lights, and iconic melodies as the South Bend Symphony Orchestra presents a concert paying homage to the unforgettable hits of the 1980s. Join us on Saturday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m., at the Morris Performing Arts Center, for Back to the 80's to experience the magic with GRAMMY-nominated Alastair Willis conducting. The Symphony joins forces with Brie Cassil, Paul Loren, and Colin Smith, lead vocalists who will bring your favorite songs to life, with Jacob Navarro on drums, and Oscar Rodriguez on guitar.
Music Director Alastair Willis shares his excitement for the show, "I grew up in the 80s, which is when I started discovering all kinds of music (not just classical). Every single song on this program brings back fantastic memories of my childhood!"
Produced and arranged by the acclaimed Jeff Tyzik, this unique concert will feature symphonic adaptations of some of the most beloved songs of the 1980s from artists like Elton John, Billy Joel, Phil Collins, and many more! From the infectious energy of Huey Lewis and the News' "The Power of Love," and Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody," to the timeless romance of "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper, the concert promises to delight fans of all ages with its diverse selection of hits.
