Day of the Dead Concert

Step into a world where music, memory, and celebration entwine. The Day of the Dead, traditionally observed on November 1 and 2, is far more than a holiday. It’s a luminous tapestry of remembrance, where families and friends gather to honor those who have passed, weaving love and laughter into their tributes. Stories of the departed, both touching and delightfully mischievous, fill the air alongside vibrant color and festive spirit.

Luna Nova’s evocative music program will awaken this tradition through the voices of Latin-inspired masters: the sultry rhythms of Piazzolla, the lyrical beauty of Barrios, the elegance of Saint-Saëns, and the soul of Mexican folk songs arranged by Robert Patterson. Let the artistry of Benjamin Minden-Birkenmaier (guitar), Delara Hashemi (flute), Jason Oates (saxophone), and Robert Patterson (horn) transport you into a soundscape where remembrance becomes celebration.

Sunday, November 2 at 2 pm. The Lord's Chapel at Elmwood Cemetery.
