Day of the Dead Ofrenda at NEHMA

Arts/Entertainment

Día de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a celebration of life and death that connects family members and allows many to grow closer with their loved ones. NEHMA highlights this tradition by creating a large ofrenda (offering table) in the lobby of the museum. On display are calaveras (decorated skulls), photos, food, candles, and marigold flowers to represent different kinds of ofrendas. People are welcome to dedicate a small portion of that ofrenda to someone they lost by writing their name on the ofrenda wall. Come visit the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art and our Día de Los Muertos ofrenda!

"20th Century Soundscapes: A Journey Through Blauth, Berio, Martinu, Bernstein, and Guastavino"

Arts/Entertainment

This recital invites you to explore the rich and varied soundscapes of 20th-century music for clarinet and piano through the works of Brenno Blauth, Luciano Berio, Bohuslav Martinu, Leonard Bernstein, and Carlos Guastavino. Each composer shaped the musical landscape of their time, merging tradition with innovation and creating works that continue to resonate with modern audiences.

From Blauth’s warm melody textures, Berio’s bold experimentation, and Martinu’s witty charm to Bernstein’s dynamic fusion of classical and jazz and Guastavino’s lyrical and elegant folkloric warmth, join us for an evening where avant-garde meets neoclassicism, popular mingles with classical forms, and tradition and modernity intersect in an exhilarating celebration of 20th-century music.
