Performance: Black Violin

Two-time Grammy-nominated Black Violin returns to Tucson in a musical fusion of classical sounds with exhilarating hip-hop beats. Presented by Arizona Arts Live and the Rialto Theatre.

Black Violin comprises classically trained violist Wil Baptiste and violinist Kev Marcus, who combine their training and hip-hop influences to create a distinctive multi-genre sound often described as a "classical boom." Joining them on-stage are Nat Stokes on drums, DJ SPS on the turntable and Liston Gregory on keys.
