BLACK VIOLIN is back with their live blend of classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B, and bluegrass music. They are accompanied by their incredible band, featuring ace turntable whiz DJ SPS and a drummer. In the past year they have performed for more than 100,000 students. Since starting BLACK VIOLIN a little over a decade ago, Wil Baptiste and Kevin “Kev Marcus” Sylvester have performed an average of 200 shows a year in 49 states and 36 countries as far away as Dubai, Prague and South Africa. Their groundbreaking collaborations have led them to play their music for U.S. troops in Iraq, the official President’s Inaugural Ball, and the Kids Inaugural in Washington, D.C. Please note, this concert is loud!
Produced and performed by Black Violin.
