Step through the front doors of Music Hall and into a celebration of life in full color.
Marigold petals swirl underfoot as the night hums with the rhythm of Mariachi music. A glowing ofrenda holds space to honor those who came before and candles flicker in a graveyard of quiet reflection. As the veil between worlds gently lifts, the evening culminates in a vibrant fiesta of Latin American music by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Mariachi Sol de Mexico de Jóse Hernàndez.
This immersive experience invites you to fully participate in our Día De Los Muertos celebration by adding your own voice to an ofrenda by local artist Rebecca Nava Soto and writing epigraphs to loved ones in our graveyard.
Thanks for attending CSO Proof: DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS. We'd love to hear your feedback to know what we got right, and what we need to work on.
Your responses are confidential. At the end of the survey, you'll have a chance to enter to win a $100 VISA gift card.
