Black Violin makes their way to the Community Arts Center

Black Violin has announced their US Classical Boom Tour. The duo will be in Williamsport at the Community Arts Center 7:30 p.m. Oct. 10. The 29-city tour is a follow up to the successful Unity tour, which saw 28 sold-out public performances. Black Violin will also be performing for 1,900 school children earlier that day as part of the CAC Youth Educational Series.

After serving as the house band for the ESPN’s hosted 82nd Annual Heisman Memorial Trophy Presentation, the network recently selected Black Violin’s track “Stereotypes” to promote the upcoming 2017 US Open.

Black Violin is currently writing and recording their next studio album, due out in 2018. The band’s most recent record, “Stereotypes,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Crossover Chart and #4 on the Billboard R&B Chart. NPR praised the album and band, saying “their music will keep classical music alive for the next generation.”

Black Violin is composed of classically trained violist and violinist Wil B. and Kev Marcus, who combine their classical training and hip-hop influences to create a distinctive multi-genre sound that is often described as “classical boom.” Black Violin has shared stages with top names including Kayne West, Aerosmith and Tom Petty, and has creatively collaborated with the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Wyclef Jean and Alicia Keys.

In addition to their public concerts, Black Violin has performed for more than 100,000 students in the past 12 months throughout North America and Europe. The band is endorsed by Yamaha Music, and has partnered with the National Association for Music Manufacturers (NAMM) to continue their advocacy for accessible music education.
