Jefferson Choral Society: Awesome 80s
Relive the glory days of MTV with the music of the 1980s! More than three dozen songs that helped define the decade are included in this nostalgic look back at the music that Gen X made famous, from multi-platinum smashes by Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and Madonna to those by artists known for one or two hits, such as Katrina and the Waves, A-Ha, and Men Without Hats.
Celebrate the decade of blockbuster films, VCRs, and the rise of the boombox and compact disc with the Jefferson Choral Society, Central Virginia’s largest and most enduring adult choir. Parachute pants, leg warmers, and big hair are optional.
