United Strings of Color, of the Philharmonic Association, was formed as a project to address racial disparity in classical music. The group often performs community outreach while delving into the intersection between societal issues and music. During its three seasons, the group has studied and performed music by under-represented composers, such as the African Americans Florence Price and Undine Smith Moore; played music with African connections; and lent their voice to social justice awareness by performing Violin Vigils. In spite of the pandemic, the United Strings of Color has been the most active performing group in the Philharmonic Association, offering twelve in-person and three virtual performances in the 2020-21 season. Over their history, they have performed at the African American Cultural Festival, at the North Carolina Museum of Art, for the local Omega Psi Phi Quiz Bowl, for the Raleigh-Wake Chapter of Jack and Jill, for Raleigh's Boys and Girls Club, for the Day of Enlightenment 2020 at Raleigh Little Theatre Amphitheatre, for the inaugural Juneteenth Celebration at Dix Park, and at several area churches and art galleries.
