Black Violin was FANTASTIC!
These young men are an absolute testament! Their talent and commitment to educate on so many levels was inspiring! Excellent job! Four stars to Cane Park...need stanchions out earlier to allow lines to form properly. FIVE STARS to the artists!

Better than I could have thought
My daughter plays the viola and introduced me to this duo. I'm really glad that she did! They were amazing and worth going to see. They played all types of genres and I feel like there's something for everyone. I had no idea that one of them sang as well. You won't be disappointed checking them out.

Black Violin = Violin Goals
I never thought I would enjoy a concert that featured string instrumentalist. This is my third concert and I plan to see them every time they come to town. My son said he loved the way Kev Marcus smiled as he playing. He was also impressed the way Wil B made the viola sound like he was playing a guitar. The concert was fun, classy, family friendly, inspiring, and left me longing for more. After a roaring ovation from the crowd, they came out and played another song. These guys really know how to please their fans. Even more powerful, my son had an opportunity to meet Kev Marcus who gave him words of encouragement. I took my partner who stated "This was better than any Rock concert he'd ever attended." He purchased several t-shirts and all 3 cds... He's in love, as am I, with the Black Violins.

Black Violin on Tour
The wait is over. Grammy-nominated hip-hop duo Black Violin have announced more than 55 dates for their 2022 tour. Off the heels of their successful 2019 album Take the Stairs, which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, the classically trained duo are eager to showcase their original style on the big stage. Audience members fawn over the raw talent displayed by the hip-hop group for their amazing performances that infuse classical arrangements from the violin and viola with modern 808's, high-hats and other genre-bending elements. "The concert had the audience clapping, waving, light shining, dancing and smiling," one audience member wrote in a review of their concert on Ticketmaster. Experience a diverse performance that features both original compositions from the group like the hit single "Stereotypes" from the album of the same name.
Black Violin Live in Concert
High school friends Kevin Sylvester (Kev Marcus) and Wilner Baptiste (Wil B) met in a Fort Lauderdale performing arts program as teens. While Sylvester plays the violin, Baptiste plays the viola and together they create a distinct sound that rocked the hip-hop community. Despite attending different colleges, the two gravitated back toward one another and decided to try their hand at music full-time. Their first taste of stardom came when they performed alongside Grammy winner Alicia Keys at the 2004 Billboard Music Awards. The duo used this momentum to provide musical support on tour for artists such as Wu-Tang Clan and Kanye West. Baptiste also has musical credits on studio albums for hip-hop sensations Lupe Fiasco, B.o.B and Lil Wayne. In 2007, the duo released their self-titled debut album, and the follow-up, Classically Trained, a few years later. Their 2019 album Take the Stairs was nominated for a Grammy, the duo's first recognition. Most recently, Black Violin released their own spin on a Christmas album titled Give Thanks. In 2019, Sylvester, Baptiste and Phil Beaudreau founded their own label titled Di Versatile Music Group to promote the release of Take the Stairs, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Classical and Classical Crossover charts, and cracked the Top 10 on the Top New Artists chart and Hip Hop and R&B Chart.
