Notes on View: Salomé Sandoval

Live music in the galleries inspired by art—Notes on View is a pop-up music series at the NCMA featuring 40-minute live performances that respond to and resonate with works on display. Ranging from contemporary sounds to classical compositions, performances invite you to experience the galleries in a new way: through sound, space, and shared creativity.

About the artist
Multifaceted artist Salomé Sandoval sings and accompanies herself with lutes and early and classical guitars in multilingual, creative, and innovative programs. Her repertoire ranges from medieval, renaissance, and baroque to the 20th century, and her performances often include a combination of visual arts, dance, theater, and music. Originally from Venezuela, Sandoval resides in North Carolina. She holds a graduate performance diploma in Early Music (voice and lute) from Longy School of Music of Bard College as well as an MA from Middle Tennessee State University and a BM from IUDEM, Venezuela, both in classical guitar.

Sandoval has sung and played in various ensembles and choirs in Venezuela and the US, including the choirs at the Church of the Advent and Revels in Boston, Duke, and St. Philips Episcopal Church in Durham. She is the NC chapter lead for the Lute Society of America. Sandoval’s recent collaborations include Raleigh Camerata, Ashville Baroque, Bach Society of SC, Columbia Baroque, UNC, Duke University, Boston Camerata, El Mundo, Newberry Consort, and 7th Street Concerts.
