Virtuoso violinists Kev and Wil B are back once again at the Grand to raise the roof sky-high with their funky fusion of classical, jazz, hip-hop, blues and R&B. Joining Kev and Wil B are DJ TK on the turntables, Beatdown on Drums and Joe Cello on Cello. They have inspired kids from all over North America to get fired up about classical music - proving that their hearts are as big and soulful as their sound.
Wil B and Kev are classically trained viola and violin players who first met playing in their high school orchestra in Fort Lauderdale. After graduating college, they joined up as hip-hop studio rats in 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 Presidents Inaugural Ball and the Kids Inaugural in Washington, DC, where Barack Obama himself gave each a hearty hand-shake and
man hug.
"It's something everyone can enjoy, whether youre an 80-year-old grandmother or a kid in kindergarten," says Wil B. 'It's classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B, pop just good music. Black Violin is all about overcoming your obstacles and staying strong."
