The Town Hall presents the second annual Day of the Dead screening of Disney and Pixar’s beloved Coco in Concert Live to Film, featuring the film’s musical score by Oscar® and Grammy®-winning composer Michael Giacchino performed live along to the film by The Sinfonietta, the acclaimed all-women orchestra founded by Macy Schmidt, and Flor de Toloache, an all-female mariachi band based in New York City and founded by Mireya I. Ramos and Shae Fiol.
Shelbie Rassler will conduct, and Pulitzer Prize-winner and Kennedy Center Honoree Tania León will be making a guest conducting appearance.
The event will also feature face painting, an interactive Ofrenda, and other activities for families to enjoy before the screenings.
Coco tells the story of Miguel, a young boy who dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz, despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music. Following a mysterious chain of events and desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead. Along the way, he meets a charming trickster named Héctor and together they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history.
