Día de los Muertos Ofrenda
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, begins on November 1 as a day of remembrance for those who have died. Its roots trace back to precolonial Mexico and the belief that souls return annually to their families so that their lives can be celebrated. Today, families commemorate the day by creating ofrendas (altars), featuring photos, candles, incense and other decorations and offerings to remember the dead.
From October 24 to November 3, visitors to Symphony Center can pay their respects at an ofrenda created by local artist Elvia Rodriguez Ochoa. Honoring members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association family who have passed away over the past year, it also features opportunities for the public and Symphony Center patrons to honor their loved ones. The ofrenda is located on the first floor of the Rotunda.
Visitors are invited to leave a small offering — such as a photo or flower — or write a note on the provided notecards to honor their own loved ones on the ofrenda.
