It’s almost impossible to come up with names of African-American violin players who have made their mark on pop music. The search is over! Classically trained Wil Baptiste and Kevin “Kev Marcus” Sylvester, the
founders of Black Violin, are the new standard. There has been no band to meticulously meld classical, hip-hop, rock and pop music into a single genre busting act– until now.

Black Violin has performed for everybody from American troops in Iraq to the official President’s Inaugural Ball and the Kids Inaugural in Washington, DC. They even shook hands and man-hugged President Barack Obama. Black Violin sold out performances at the New Victory Theater on Broadway and wowed audiences at the legendary Harlem Apollo Theater, accompanied Alicia Keyes on “Karma” at the 2004 Billboard Music Awards, and nailed their performance of “Stereo Hearts” on VH-1’s Unplugged with Patrick Stump of Gym Class Heroes and Fall Out Boy.

Open your ears, your heart, and soul—to the ground-breaking sounds of Black Violin, here at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

Cost: $32/Orchestra & Lower Balcony, $26/Upper Balcony
