In keeping with the history of the moment, the current group is immersed in making a difference. The United Strings of Color is an outreach project that addresses racial disparity in classical music and delves into the intersection between societal issues and music. During its four seasons, the group has studied pieces by under-represented composers, such as the African Americans Florence Price, A
nthony Kelly, DBR and Undine Smith Moore; played music with African connections; and lent their voice to social justice awareness by performing Violin Vigils. United Strings of Color has performed at Raleigh's African American Cultural Festival, with the Durham Symphony, for the local Omega Psi Phi Quiz Bowl, for the Raleigh-Wake Chapter of Jack and Jill, at the North Carolina Museum of Art, for the African American Cultural Celebration at the North Carolina Museum of History, for the Durham Rotary Club, for Triangle Park Links Incorporated, at area churches, at PS 118 Art Gallery in Durham, and for the Raleigh's Boys and Girls Club. The group has also been featured as a My Brothers Keeper partner.
