Van Wezel to Welcome Black Violin

By: Dec. 14, 2015
Blending highbrow and pop culture Wilner "Wil B" Baptiste and Kevin "Kev Marcus" Sylvester bring Black Violin, to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Tuesday, January 12th at 8:00pm.

Classically-trained viola and violin players Wil B and Kev Marcus first met playing in the high school orchestra in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The pair started Black Violin more than a decade ago and have since performed an average of 200 shows a year in 49 states and 36 countries. Their music is a passionate blend of classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B, and even bluegrass. "Black Violin works hard, but makes it all look like play. Sometimes they play with the intense seriousness of orchestral soloists; at others they fiddle as if at a hoedown; at still others they strum the violin and viola like guitars." - The New York Times

Tickets are $25-$40 and are available at VanWezel.org, the Box Office, or by calling 941-953-3368.
