“Cantar
de Los Muertos
Please join us on November 2nd at 6:30 p.m. at
First United Methodist Church in Shadyside for our Patron Event, “Cantar de Los
Muertos.” Vocal Instructor Jett Christensen will give a recital of classical
pieces which illuminate The Elegant Curmudgeon, an original story about
an old man who faces his death with ferocity, humor, and mourning. Musical selections include “Corpus Christi
Carol” by Benjamin Britten, arias from Bellini’s I Capuleti e I Montecchi ,
and“Danse Macabre” by Saint-Seans. Following the recital, attendees will have
the opportunity to decorate temporary shrines in honor of deceased friends and
family and then gather for a dance party in honor of the dead. A live band will
accompany the dance and Singers from the East End Song Studio will each offer a
song. Traditional face paint for the Mexican Holiday of “El Dia de Los Muertos”
is encouraged. A face painting booth will be available.
