Segerstrom Center for the Arts presents multi-Grammy® Award-winning Mexican-American singer Lila Downs for one night only on October 27 at 7:00 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Referred to by many as one of Mexico’s greatest singers and cultural ambassadors, Downs brings her unique interpretation of traditional Mexican and Mesoamerican music, with Día de Muertos: AL CHILE. The program features a blend of ballet folklorico and mariachi as the singer is joined by Grandeza Mexicana Folk Ballet Company, a leading folk ballet company in Los Angeles, and Mariachi Femenil Flores Mexicanas, a leading all-female mariachi group in the Southwest.
Día de Muertos: AL CHILE is a voyage of emotions, movement and sound that celebrate the rich traditions of Day of the Dead on both sides of the border. The program will feature ballet folklorico and mariachi.For this community-oriented event, audiences members are encouraged to come dressed in imaginative Día de los Muertos costumes and make-up, to bring remembrances of their loved ones to share in the celebration, and to become fully immersed in an evening filled with emotions of love, loss, reconnection, and joy.
This new concert is just one of the ways that Segerstrom Center is offering programming that explores the rich traditions of Día de los Muertos. A local Orange County artist will build a large-scale traditional altar in the Concert Hall lobby for theatergoers to engage with and learn more about the altar tradition and the significance of the altar elements.
