String Sensation BLACK VIOLIN Plays Orpheum Theatre 2/23

On Wednesday, February 23rd at 6:00 PM, Black Violin will rock The Orpheum Theatre to its very core. Fusing elements of classical, jazz, blues, R&B and hip-hop, phenomenal fiddlers Kev and Will B--along with their mixing maestro DJ TK- promise a night of show stopping entertainment.

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.

To most people, jazz, hip-hop, funk, and classical are musical genres. But to revolutionary music group Black Violin; they're nothing but ingredients. 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 wants to make sure that North America's youth get the opportunity to see that classical music is cool!

Black Violin will be at The Orpheum Theatre on Wednesday, February 23rd at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are $12.50 each and are available at The Orpheum Theatre Box Office, Davis-Kidd Booksellers, and all Ticketmaster locations.
