¡Celebramos!

Hispanic Heritage & Halloween Spooktacular Saturday, October 17 | 4:00 PM Moody Performance Hall Celebrate culture, rhythm, and a little bit of fun-filled fright in an unforgettable afternoon concert that brings two beloved traditions together. For the first time, we proudly present a program honoring Hispanic Heritage, paired with the long-awaited return of our Halloween Spooktacular—our first Halloween concert in five years. The performance opens with a vibrant first half dedicated to music by Hispanic and Latin composers, showcasing the color, drive, and infectious energy of works such as Moncayo’s Huapango, Cavéz’s Tamboo, Texidor’s Amparito Roca, and Wilds’ Viva!. This portion of the program highlights the rich musical legacy of Latin cultures and reflects our commitment to diverse voices on the concert stage. After intermission, the mood transforms. Musicians will trade traditional concert black for Halloween costumes as the stage shifts into a playful, spirited Spooktacular—perfect for audiences of all ages and the festive season. Expect surprises, theatrical flair, and a celebration that’s as entertaining as it is musically thrilling. Join us for an afternoon where passion meets pageantry, tradition meets imagination, and music brings it all together. 🎶🎃
