Dust off your Members-Only jacket, don that side ponytail, and prepare to be transported back to the most tubular decade because the Redlands Symphony is thrilled to present “Totally 80s Afternoon," an engaging, fun-filled special event unlike any other.

Imagine stepping into the lively, playful spirit of the 1980s as members and friends of the Redlands Symphony—Sarah Dudas and April Losey, violins; Kira Blumberg, viola; and special guest Kyle Champion, cello—perform bodacious string-quartet arrangements of iconic hits.

Think Bonnie Tyler, Michael Jackson, Cher, Journey, and more, delivered with both nostalgia and orchestral finesse.

But the best part? This is an interactive concert. Attendees get to help shape the setlist, choosing which beloved 80s favorites they want to hear. It's your playlist, amplified by live musicians.

“This isn’t your typical concert,” explains Executive Director Kevin Eberle-Noel. “Our 'Totally 80s Afternoon’ blends spirited audience participation, nostalgic storytelling through music, and the hospitality of our friends at Escape Craft Brewery—all in service of a vibrant community tradition.”

Totally 80s Afternoon will take place on Sept. 20 at 3:00 p.m. at Escape Craft Brewery’s Nevada Street Barrelhouse.

Tickets are $75 for adults and $20 for children and include snacks, one complimentary beverage, and raffle entry. All proceeds directly support the artistic and educational programs of the Redlands Symphony.
