How did the event come about?
Back in 2018, co-show creators Cliff Masterson () and Steve Anderson (Kylie Minogue, ) were sitting back stage at one of their classical dance music shows and started to discuss which songs in the set were getting the best reaction. In that particular show there were some remixed versions of 80s songs and the idea of creating a whole orchestral show around some of their favourite 80s artists was born! They decided to reach out to some artists they had previously crossed paths with and they all loved the idea of re-working some of their classic songs into super-sized symphonic versions
80s Classical was born and became the first show of its kind to feature multiple, original artists and a full symphony orchestra.
