The Kentucky Center presents Black Violin as part of the Brown-Forman Midnite Ramble on Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at 7:30 p.m.

Combining a daunting array of musical styles and influences to produce a Signature Sound that is not quite maestro, not quite emcee, this group of two classically trained violinists and their DJ is redefining the music world one string at a time.

With influences ranging from Shostakovich and Bach to Nas and Jay-Z, Black Violin breaks all the rules by blending the classical with the modern to create something rare: a sound that no one has ever heard, but that everyone wants to feel.

Black Violin's popularity has risen since their performance at the 2004 Billboard Awards accompanying Alicia Keys. In addition to their performance, the duo are also producers and writers having worked with Kanye West, Tom Petty and Aerosmith, among others.
