Coco Live-to-Film Concert
Coco Live-to-Film Concert presents Disney Pixar’s complete film with Michael Giacchino’s Oscar- and Grammy-winning score performed live by the 20-member Orquesta Folclórica Nacional de México. The concert also features “Remember Me,” the Academy Award-winning song by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with additional songs co-written by Germaine Franco and co-director and screenwriter Adrian Molina.
The film follows Miguel, a boy whose family has banned music for generations despite his dream of becoming a musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz. After a mysterious sequence of events transports him to the vibrant Land of the Dead, Miguel teams up with the trickster Héctor to uncover the truth about his family’s history. The film is directed by Lee Unkrich, co-directed by Adrian Molina, and produced by Darla K. Anderson. The voice cast includes Anthony Gonzalez as Miguel, Benjamin Bratt as Ernesto de la Cruz, and Gael García Bernal as Héctor.
