    This show is general admission seating and is an official Family Series Show.

    To most people, jazz, hip-hop, funk, and classical are musical genres. But to revolutionary music group Black Violin; they're nothing but ingredients.

    Kev Marcus and Wil b are Black Violin, two classically trained musicians who, along with their DJ, TK, have created the ultimate synergy between classical and hip-hop music. They have been called "Apollo Legends" and toured with Alicia Keyes, P Diddy, and Akon.

    Combining a daunting array of musical styles and influences to produce a signature sound that is not quite maestro, not quite emcee, this group of two classically trained violinists and their DJ is redefining the music world-one string at a time. With influences ranging from Shostakovich and Bach to Nas and Jay-Z, Black Violin breaks all the rules, blending the classical with the modern to create something rare a sound that nobody has ever heard, but that everybody wants to feel.

    Now Black Violin want to make sure that North America's youth get the opportunity to see that classical music is cool!
