Altar de Muertos: String Quartet Masterworks

This October, the Playground String Quartet is excited to celebrate Fall with a Colorado premiere of Gabriela Ortiz’s ceremonial "Altar de Muertos", which is inspired by the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead. The concert will also feature "Eclectic Huapango and Two Dances" by composer Alfonso Molina, which focuses on prehispanic Mexican traditions that have endured beyond Mexico’s Spanish conquest. In a climate where diversity is undervalued and often actively oppressed, the Playground Ensemble is proud to present a concert of string quartet pieces featuring composers from Mexico. Doors at 7:00 PM, show at 7:30 PM.
