The Elgin Symphony Orchestra will present its third annual Día de los Muertos concert Thursday, Oct. 29 at at the Hemmens Cultural Center, 45 Symphony Way, Elgin.
Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a two-day Mexican holiday to honor the memory of departed loved ones, and to rekindle the relationship between the living and the dead. The annual event has become a landmark affirmation of Mexican identity and cultural heritage.
