North Carolina Museum of Art Unveils 2024 Summer Concerts and Movie Screenings: A Treat for Raleigh Residents

The North Carolina Museum of Art, in collaboration with Raleigh Arts, has revealed its 2024 outdoor concerts and movie screenings schedule. The program, put together by the museum's director of performing arts and film, Moses T. Alexander Greene, features a variety of Grammy-winning acts. The theme for this season is 'blank space and JOY', mirroring the museum's goal to offer joyful experiences to visitors.

The concert lineup spans more than 20 music genres, such as jazz, gospel, r&b, Americana, alternative rock, folk, salsa, and children’s music. The museum intends to add a few more shows to the current 17 concerts, marking an increase from the previous years. This expansion comes after a closure period due to the pandemic.

The museum will also host movie screenings that highlight music. The series will begin with 'Purple Rain,' followed by a dance-party deejay set, and will feature a selection of popular movies.

Jazz is the most represented genre in the lineup, with seven 'Jazz at the NCMA' shows. Greene states that the jazz series was created to address a need identified by the community during the pandemic. The success of this initiative is demonstrated by the high number of first-time attendees at last year's NCMA jazz shows.

The 2024 outdoor concerts and movies at the North Carolina Museum of Art are sponsored by First Citizen's Bank. The lineup includes performances by various artists and a series of movie screenings. The museum aims to provide a diverse and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
