Premiere of Conversations Between Four Black Abolitionist Music-Makers

United Strings of Color is presenting an immersive experience of Black history using music, theatre, and mixed media arts to educate about the lives, countries, times, systemic laws, and iconic contributions of the four Black abolitionists: Ignatius Sancho, Joseph Bologne "Chevalier", Solomon Northrup and Frederick Douglass. Pre-show interactive immersive activities will take place in the lobby at the showtime listed, with the theatrical production beginning one hour later. Throughout the production, USC groups will play music either composed by the historical figures themselves, associated with them in historical documentation, or of the era in which they lived. Following the formal presentation, the audience will be invited to converse with our musical Black abolitionists and engage further in the discoveries the production uncovers. Tickets will be on sale through the NC Museum of Art.
