Black Violin has built a career – and a legacy – by breaking down cultural barriers, stereotypes and expectations. The duo of classically trained musicians, Wil Baptiste (viola) and Kev Marcus (violin), began collaborating in college after discovering a shared appreciation for hip hop and other popular genres of music. They’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of what a “classical musician” should look or sound like, and they bridge cultural gaps to connect people through music who might not otherwise find one another.
