For two decades, Black Violin has been merging string arrangements with modern beats and vocals and building bridges in communities along the way. Kev Marcus and Wil Baptiste first met in orchestra class at Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale. Post-college, they reconvened to produce beats for South Florida rappers, and began building an audience in local clubs. They later went on to win Showtime at the Apollo in 2005, and eventually sold out headline performances at venues across the country, including a sold out two-night headline run at The Kennedy Center in 2018. NPR took note and declared “their music will keep classical music alive for the next generation.” Black Violin’s 2019 album release, Take the Stairs, earned a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Contemporary Instrumental Album”. The band also recently received their second ever Grammy Award nomination for the track “The Message” as Best Americana Performance, in collaboration with The Blind Boys of Alabama.📍 Venue: Florida Theatre Jacksonville
