As part of the Children’s Day Celebration on Moore Square, member groups of the Triangle Music Education Consortium will play, including United Strings of Color performing from 4 – 4:30. We will feature works by composers of color, including Ignatius Sancho, Joseph Bologne Chevalier de St. Georges and Black Violin – their Stereotypes. In recognition of the sponsorship by the Mexican Consulate we will also play Bésame Mucho, a bolero song written in 1932 by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez.

Other performers from the Triangle Music Educator Consortium include Raleigh Music Collective, Community Music School, North Carolina Chamber Music Institute, Wake Forest Community Youth Orchestra and Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble.
