The Whirl: NC Symphony Friends of Note

Each spring, the North Carolina Symphony’s Friends of Note event draws business and community leaders together to celebrate learning through music. On May 6, the event raised record-high funds for music and education opportunities for students, thanks to founding sponsors BNY Wealth, Rae H. and James C. Gulick, and Marquis Private Wealth, along with generous donors and supporters.
