A whirlwind of emotions: The Orquesta Folclórica Nacional de Mexico's ‘Coco’
On Wednesday, Oct. 3, Princeton’s McCarter Theatre was home to the Orquesta Folclórica Nacional de México. The orchestra put on an enthralling live-to-concert performance of the score of the award-winning Pixar film “Coco” as the film played on the screen for a young audience eager to revisit the crowd-pleasing story. With its spirited 20-person ensemble, the Orquesta Folclórica Nacional de Mexico's version of “Coco” was a lively celebration of the movie’s musical roots, likely as unforgettable for me as it was for the concert’s many young attendants.
