Christopher Mallett has done extensive outreach with Thomas Flippin of Duo Noire throughout New England, New York, and St. Louis. In 2009 they were awarded the Alumni Ventures Grant from Yale University to help fund their outreach tour that included concerts in Harlem, the Bronx, and several cities in Connecticut. In 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2018, Duo Noire was named an Artist-in-Residence for the St. Louis Classical Guitar Society, where they performed in nearly three-dozen outreach concerts in the St. Louis public school system. In the 2022 season, Duo Noire was invited to perform at public schools through the Cleveland Guitar Society and Austin Guitar Society. Mallett is also co-director of the Peninsula Guitar Series, whose G.O.A.L.S. (Guitar Outreach and Leadership Skills) program provides dozens of kids around the Bay Area with free virtual guitar lessons.
