"A raucous, rousing, genre-busting performance piece that dares the audience to get up and dance"

Time Out New York Kids



"We were simply blown away by the Black Violin performance... the
students and teachers had an amazing time, dancing screaming and smiling
the whole time."

- Stephanie Turner, Director of Arts Education, Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, Greenvale NY



Black Violin: American hip-hop duo, Kev Marcus and Wil B, are
classically trained string instrumentalists who meld highbrow and pop
culture, "Brandenburg" and "breakdown," into a single genre-busting act,
a groundbreaking blend of classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B, and even
bluegrass music. Kev Marcus (violin) and Wil B (viola) play tunes from
their second CD, Classical Trained, which cleverly features smooth
verses and symphonic hooks underscored by an array of rhythmic grooves,
ranging from pop-rock cadences to trunk rattling bass. Armed with stage
experiences with Alicia Keys, Mike Shinoda, and Gym Class Heroes, this
promising group is stretching the fabric of how music is interpreted.
Add the spellbinding vocals of Wil B and the innovative approach to the
violin and you are sure to be taken on an incredible journey.
