Dia de los Muertos: The Dance of Life and Death
10/29
In our darkest moments of loss and bereavement, our enduring love shines through and lights our way forward. Feelings of sadness and grief give way to cherished memories, and like the beautiful melodies of great music, these images and sounds fill our hearts and help us to dance again. Our Dia de los Muertos concert will explore these themes through evocative music and stunning, rarely seen silent films, culminating in the infectious rhythm of Rivera's PizziCuban Polka and Galindo's Sones de Mariachi that will send you home with a spring in your step - a true celebration of life.
