About the Concert

Step inside the Schuster Center and into our musical time warp and be transported back to a time when hair was big, leg warmers were the accessories of choice, and parachute pants ruled. Celebrate a decade of iconic pop culture in a whole new way with the electricity of a full orchestra behind the chart topping hits of the 1980s!

This event is presented in partnership with Dayton Development Coalition’s Hometown Heroes™ program. Learn more about it here.
