Bellingham, WA — Prepare for an extraordinary evening as Black Violin commemorates 20 years of musical innovation with their BV20: Then & Now tour, coming to Mount Baker Theatre on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. This groundbreaking duo, renowned for their genre-defying fusion of classical music and hip-hop rhythms, is set to captivate audiences with live performances across the country once again this fall. In celebration of the band’s 20th anniversary, their new single “Legends in the Making” is out now.
BV20: Then & Now will showcase the incredible 20 year journey of Black Violin, featuring Kev Marcus on violin and Wil Baptiste on viola/vocals, joined by Nat Stokes on drums, DJ SPS on turntables, and Liston Gregory on keys. This talented ensemble will deliver a performance that transcends genres, combining the elegance of classical strings with the dynamic beats of hip-hop.
From their humble beginnings as high school orchestra classmates, to being two-time Grammy nominated, internationally touring musicians, the band has a lot to be proud of.

In 2019, Black Violin launched the Black Violin Foundation Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering youth by providing access to quality music programs in their community.
