Coco in Concert Live to Film pairs the movie with a live performance of Michael Giacchino’s score by the BPO, with the full film projected overhead. The story follows Miguel, a boy who longs to be a musician, as he ventures into the Land of the Dead, a journey centered on family, memory, and heart. With the orchestra in the room, laughs feel bigger, quiet moments resonate together, and the music feels alive. Festival Encanto Hispano also returns that day with free activities, creating a full day of community, culture, and music at Kleinhans. This presentation is licensed by Disney Concerts.
