About Black Violin

Black Violin is led by classically trained string players Wil Baptiste (vocals, viola) and Kev Marcus (violin). They use their unique blend of classical and hip-hop music to overcome stereotypes while encouraging people of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds to join together to break down cultural barriers.

Black Violin has always been about taking things further, exceeding expectations, and challenging conventions. The duo has steadily built a devoted following and a diverse touring base - culminating in such triumphs as two sold-out shows at the Kennedy Center with the National Symphony Orchestra commemorating the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s death, and appearances on the Today Show, CBS Mornings, and PBS Newshour - while occupying a musical lane that’s entirely their own.

Black Violin’s work extends far beyond the stage, reaching deep into communities nationwide with numerous free performances for students and hands-on engagement with youth symphonies and community centers.
