About this adventure

The NC Museum of Art's Notes on View series brings live music into the galleries, and its December holiday special features the United Strings of Color playing festive classical favorites in the East Building. United Strings of Color began in Raleigh in 2018 as an outreach string quartet of African American musicians working to address racial disparity in classical music through music education and community engagement. Each 45-minute pop-up set takes place among the artworks, so families can hear strings up close in a relaxed setting where children can listen while looking at the art rather than sitting through a formal concert. The performance is repeated at 11 am and 1 pm on the same Saturday. Admission is free, and seating is limited and first come, first served, so arrive a little early if young children need a seat.
