## About

The San Francisco Symphony's yearly Día de los Muertos concert celebrates Latin American music and culture. Local artists create installations in the Davies Symphony Hall lobby, so arrive early to walk through them with children. On stage, conductor José Luis Gómez leads a program of Mexican and Latin American works. It includes Arturo Márquez's Danzón No. 2, Moncayo's Huapango, Chávez's Toccata for Orchestra and a world premiere, El baile de la Catrina by Luis Farfán Carrillo. Violinist Francisco Fullana is the soloist, with salterio players David Hernández Pozos and Claudio Israel Vázquez. The event is curated with longtime partners Martha Rodríguez-Salazar and Casa Círculo Cultural. Kids' tickets are half off. The Symphony's general rule bars children under 3 except at its family programs.
