In Mexico, we don't mourn the dead, we celebrate them, because they continue to exist as long as we remember them. Every year, on the Day of the Dead "el día de los muertos", they can return to earth to celebrate with the living. Dances, parades, altars adorned with colourful flowers and all manner of delicacies, fancy dresses and costumes... the Orchestra invites you to experience this celebration through the joyous and exotic music of Mexican composers Silvestre Revueltas and Arturo Márquez.
