Join us for an afternoon of holiday classical music as the United Strings of Color brings festive favorites to life in this special Notes on View performance.

About the performers

The United Strings of Color was started in Raleigh as a project to address racial disparity in classical music through music education and community engagement. It began as a single outreach string quartet comprised of African American musicians, self-named and created in 2018.

About Notes on View

Live music in the galleries inspired by art, Notes on View is a pop-up music series at the NCMA featuring live performances that respond to and resonate with works on display. Ranging from contemporary sounds to classical compositions, performances invite you to experience the galleries in a new way: through sound, space, and shared creativity.
