If string theory is right and relates to music through Non-Euclidean geometry,could a theory of everything be expressed in music? Like a sort of actual "Music of the Spheres" or universe?

It... could... although as of now it seems difficult enough expressing it in words. Then again, music depends on mathematics unequivocally, whereas language and mathematics are quite separate. I am aware that a few theories in the past have been expressed in music, that even single numbers such as pi have been expressed in music, so I don't see why string theory couldn't be.

even if string t. can be expressed as music, it wont make it right or wrong.

it is a beautiful idea you have and you have every right in believing that.

however, science is dictated by experimental observation and THAT is what separates it from other disciplines ( e.g math, music, philiosophy etc ).

if string theory is correct, then the music generated from it bears no special status from any other music, as music is a matter of appreciation and taste ( it needs NO proof ).

i think YOU may find this string music very special becuase of your personal affections to the subject ( along with others of course ! ).

besides, how one translates the theory into music will always be open to interpretation of the symbols ( an arbitrary choice ) and thus many versions may created ( which one to pick ?)

i liked the question and i hope to have given some new ideas for you !
