What’s Special About This Concert:
Celebrate Día de Muertos with the Oklahoma Chamber Symphony in a night filled with vibrant rhythms, colorful melodies, and music that honors life, memory, and tradition.
Moncayo’s Huapango has been called the "second national anthem of Mexico" — a joyful, high-energy piece based on three traditional Mexican dance rhythms from Veracruz.
Revueltas’ Sensemayá is inspired by a poem about an Afro-Caribbean ritual to K*ll a snake. The music’s heavy drums and hypnotic rhythms create an intense, almost trance-like atmosphere.
Straight from Disney and Pixar’s Coco, Remember Me captures the heart of Día de Muertos: the idea that our loved ones live on as long as we remember them.
The Coco Medley brings more of the film’s unforgettable songs to life with full orchestra, celebrating family, heritage, and joyful remembrance.
Manuel Ponce’s Ferial paints a musical picture of a festive fair in Mexico, blending lively folk tunes with elegant orchestral writing — a celebration full of life and spirit.
We close with Márquez’s Danzón No. 2, one of the most famous pieces of contemporary Mexican music, known for its irresistible dance rhythms and rich, soulful melodies that make it impossible to sit still.

Qué tiene de especial este concierto:
Celebre el Día de Muertos con la Sinfónica de Cámara de Oklahoma en una noche llena de ritmos vibrantes, melodías coloridas y música que honra la vida, la memoria y la tradición.
El Huapango de Moncayo ha sido llamado el "segundo himno nacional de México": una pieza alegre y llena de energía basada en tres ritmos de danza tradicionales mexicanos de Veracruz.
El Sensemayá de Revueltas está inspirado en un poema sobre un ritual afrocaribeño para matar una serpiente. Los tambores potentes y los ritmos hipnóticos de la música crean una atmósfera intensa, casi de trance.
Directamente sacado de Coco, de Disney y Pixar, Remember Me captura la esencia del Día de Muertos: la idea de que nuestros seres queridos viven mientras los recordemos.
El Coco Medley da vida a más de las inolvidables canciones de la película con orquesta completa, celebrando la familia, la herencia y el alegre recuerdo.
El Ferial de Manuel Ponce pinta una imagen musical de una feria festiva en México, combinando animadas melodías folclóricas con elegantes composiciones orquestales: una celebración llena de vida y espíritu.
Cerramos con el Danzón n.° 2 de Márquez, una de las piezas más famosas de la música mexicana contemporánea, conocida por sus irresistibles ritmos bailables y sus melodías ricas y conmovedoras que invitan a quedarse quieto.
