Ahh, yes. Let us take you on a bodacious yacht rock adventure through the 70s and 80s. Imagine yourself sailing to Catalina or dropping the top on your LeBaron as you crank up rad music on your Walkman. Christopher Cross, Toto, Hall & Oates, Dan Fogelberg and so many more. Guest conductor Jason Seber has created a program that will make you want to wear shoulder pads and leg warmers again. Pop the collar of your Izod polo and join us. Be sure to sing along, Muffy.
