For nearly two decades, Black Violin (Kev Marcus and Wil Baptiste) has been merging string arrangements with modern beats and vocals, building bridges in communities along the way. NPR took note and declared “their music will keep classical music alive for the next generation.” Black Violin plays roughly 200 shows a year, many of which are performances for young, low-income students in urban communities. In the last year alone, the group has played for over 100,000 students with the goal of challenging stereotypes and preconceived notions of what a “classical musician” looks and sounds like. “It’s a unique thing that brings people together who aren’t usually in the same room,” Baptiste said. “And in the current climate, it’s good to bring people together.”
