We will also be showcasing an installation of the Ofrenda Project from student artists at the SMFA.

Join us for a night of candlelight, meaningful festivities, and treats! Please email program manager Nora Bond with any questions or accessibility needs.
History
Each year since 2014, the University Chaplaincy has hosted a concert around the auspicious days of late October or early November. It is a time for observances and holidays honoring those who have passed, including Día de los Muertos, Samhain, All Souls Day, and All Saints Day. In 2014, Tufts University Chaplaincy began hosting a Halloween Concert with a late-night recital of haunting music, played by the Music Director and Organist on the 1883 Hook & Hastings' organ at Goddard Chapel. In 2021, the tradition evolved into In Living Memory: A Concert of Songs and Stories co-sponsored by the Latinx Center.
