Back by popular demand, BLACK VIOLIN returns! The New Victory Theater presents Black Violin. They played to sold-out houses in 2009, and now virtuoso violinists Kev and Wil B are back to once again raise the roof sky-high with their funky fusion of classical, jazz, hip-hop, blues and R&B. With DJ TK on the turntables, Beatdown on the drums and Joe Cello rounding out the band, Apollo Legends BLACK VIOLIN compose a concert just for us with booming new beats, classic faves and cool pop covers finely tuned to fiddlin' perfection. With superstars Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Akon, Diddy and Linkin Park singing their praises, BLACK VIOLIN smashes musical stereotypes and will enthrall lovers of Bach and Beyoncé.

Kev and Wil B may be formally trained musicians who’ve opened for some of the biggest acts currently touring, but, at heart, for them, it’s always about the kids. With increased demand for their innovative, urban sound and a new album, Classically Trained, aiming for the charts, they always remember to look back and acknowledge how picking up an instrument for school changed their lives. Like The New Victory itself, they have a focused passion for endearing kids to the arts and consistently make time to speak to students. (Head down to the lobby after a show to meet the band and grab autographs!)
