“Black Violin upends cultural and musical stereotypes… an unexpected blend of classically trained musicianship and hip-hop beats and inventiveness.”
—The Miami Herald
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.
