BLACK VIOLIN Live in Concert!
Wil B and Kev Marcus are classically trained viola and violin players who first met playing in the high school orchestra in Fort Lauderdale, FL. After graduating college, they joined up as hip-hop studio rats in the South Florida, working with several different acts before returning to their roots by fusing the two genres in a groundbreaking collaboration that has seen them play their music for everybody from the troops in Iraq to both the official President's Inaugural Ball and the Kids Inaugural in Washington, DC, where Barack Obama himself gave each a hearty hand-shake and man hug, as First Lady Michelle Obama looked on approvingly. The pair also headlined 40 shows in two stints at the New Victory Theater on Broadway, including 16 sold-out shows over two weeks last November. Along the way, they've wowed audiences at the legendary Harlem Apollo Theatre, accompanied Alicia Keys' performance of "Karma" at the 2004 Billboard Awards, and appeared with Gym Class Heroes and Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump playing the hit song, "Stereo Hearts," for VH1's Unplugged.
