Join us for a vibrant celebration of Día de los Muertos, a cherished tradition of remembrance and celebration that has long been part of the New Orchestra of Washington’s history. Under the leadership of Artistic Director, Alejandro Hernandez-Valdez, NOW presents an exciting program of works by composers including Aaron Copland, José Pablo Moncayo, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Silvestre Revueltas, Maurice Ravel, and Juan Pablo Contreras.
