Coco in Concert: Live to Film with the BPO

Experience Coco in the most immersive way possible, with the full film projected overhead while the BPO performs Michael Giacchino’s score live. The story follows Miguel, a young boy who dreams of becoming a musician, on a journey into the Land of the Dead that is filled with family, memory, and heart. What changes when the orchestra is in the room is the emotional depth. The humor lands bigger, the tender moments feel shared, and the music becomes a living presence. With Festival Encanto Hispano returning the same day for free events from 4:30pm – 7:30pm, it is also a chance to make a full day of community, culture, and music at Kleinhans.
