Celebrate the ageless power of music with Disney/Pixar’s Coco on the big screen as your St. Louis Symphony Orchestra performs the movie’s magical score live.
Inspired by the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, the film follows 12-year-old Miguel as he enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer, and confront his family's ancestral ban on music. Don’t miss this evening where every melody is a memory, and every song is a bridge between worlds.

A few things to know:
Whenever you see the main character Miguel play his guitar in the movie, you are seeing an animation of guitarist Federico Ramos’ hands.
Award-winning actor and filmmaker Gael García Bernal provided the voice for the character Héctor in the English, Spanish, and Italian versions of Coco. This is relatively rare in animation as different actors are typically used for different language versions.
Among other awards, composer Michael Giacchino won a 2007 Grammy Award for his score for Ratatouille and the 2009 Academy Award® and Grammy® for his original score for Up.
