# Event Details - **Event Name**: Black Violin with Special Guest Braxton Cook: The Be Free Tour - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Black Violin, the Grammy-nominated classical-meets-hip-hop duo composed of violist and vocalist Wil Baptiste and violinist Kev Marcus, has spent two decades challenging conventions and rewriting the rules of modern music. On their sixth studio album, Full Circle, the childhood friends from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, have crafted their most rich and varied collection to date by bringing their entire live band into the studio to capture their signature “chaotic beauty.” The project flawlessly fuses aggressive, hard-hitting boom-bap rhythms with lush, cinematic orchestration and lyrics filled with hope and persistence. More than just a musical group, Black Violin has turned their genre-bending artistry into a massive movement, inspiring over 100,000 students annually through extensive community outreach and the Black Violin Foundation, which provides young people with access to high-quality music programs. Joining them on The Be Free Tour is Braxton Cook, an exceptionally talented vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who has made a career of beautifully blurring the lines between jazz and contemporary R&B. His latest breakthrough album, Not Everyone Can Go, is a deeply reflective and collaborative project that explores personal transitions, the rediscovery of romance, and the strength found in embracing change. Marked by bright, sun-drenched melodies, slow-burning late nineties R&B grooves, and fluid instrumental improvisations, Cook’s music serves as a soundtrack for self-work and gratitude. Together, these visionary artists bring an electric, boundary-pushing energy to the stage, combining masterful instrumentation with honest storytelling to remind audiences of the unifying power of live music. The Black Violin Be Free Tour VIP Experience is available as an add-on. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/newberry/black-violin-with-special-guest-braxton-cook-the-be-free-tour/200030322519742 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, live-music, dance, art, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 26 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Newberry - **state**: SC - **country**: United States - **location**: 1201 McKibben St, Newberry, SC, United States, South Carolina 29108 - **lat**: 34.27454 - **long**: -81.62076 - **full address**: 1201 McKibben St, Newberry, SC, United States, South Carolina 29108 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Black Violin with Special Guest Braxton Cook: The Be Free Tour - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7d5f3978d49a1c55cf2f5c849cd6c82f31c16173e947bc221cbe0d64728bfc1b-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd8d8d8-gmir?v=1787950373 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Black Violin with Special Guest Braxton Cook: The Be Free Tour being held? - **A:** Black Violin with Special Guest Braxton Cook: The Be Free Tour takes place on Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm at 1201 McKibben St, Newberry, SC, United States, South Carolina 29108. - **Q**: Who is organizing Black Violin with Special Guest Braxton Cook: The Be Free Tour? - **A:** Black Violin with Special Guest Braxton Cook: The Be Free Tour is organized by Newberry Opera House. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Newberry Opera House's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Newberry Opera House a rating of 3/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
