Van Wezel to Welcome Black Violin

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
