Santa Rosa Symphony presents a concert of music from famous Mexican composers, appropriate for a Day of the Dead celebration. Musicians from the Symphony perform quartets by Carlos Chavez and Silvestre Revueltas, and then hand the stage of the Jackson Theater at the Sonoma County Day School over to the guitar-wielding Trio Nuevo Amanecer for a set of traditional songs.
The music reminds us that Halloween is actually the eve of an important feast day, one that, in Mexico, brings together Christianity and longstanding traditions and customs of remembrance.
