Join the adventurous Kronos Quartet for a special celebration of the traditional Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). In honor of this festive time of remembering and rejoicing, Kronos will perform selections from their recently released CD Nuevo, co-produced by Grammy-Award winning Rock en Espanol producer Gustavo Santaolalla of Amores Perros fame. This diverse collection of Mexican music spans nearly 100 years and features new arrangements of original works by Latin American composers ranging from Juan Garcia Esquival to Rock en Espanol super-group Café Tacuba. The second half of the program features Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz' s Altar de Muertos, a staged piece exploring the ritual and meaning of death in Mexico today.

Dia de los Muertos Community and Memorial Altars
A community altar will be located on the stage where the audience is welcome to place photographs of loved ones, flowers and other offerings. A memorial altar commissioned by the Oakland Museum will also be installed the Zellerbach Hall mezzanine.
