Classical music and hip-hop collide! The groundbreaking duo Black Violin blurs the lines between musical genres with their one-of-a-kind, family-friendly fusion of groove and strings.
Violist Wil B. and violinist Kev Marcus are classically trained musicians bringing hip-hop samples and a party atmosphere to their live show of dueling strings. They are joined on stage by their band-named one of the "hottest bands at SXSW"-featuring turntable whiz DJ SPS.
Get up and get down to an unforgettable mix of classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B, and bluegrass as Black Violin delivers its genre-shattering, Signature Sound: classical boom.
