The San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce and The Blue Heart Foundation took over 100 youth with chaperones and took a pic with Black Violins with a post performance Q&A… The Escondido Staff and Management made it a wonderful experience!
Wil B and Kev Marcus picked up the viola and violin in high school, where they first started playing together. They each went on to earn music degrees, separately, and linked back up after college to become Black Violin, a classical hip-hop duo. With live shows that include lights, a DJ and the musicians themselves encouraging the crowd to join them in their excitement for the music they create
We believe the importance of the Arts and Music are critical to our young men’s growth. It nurtures creative thought and helps children think outside the box. We had the opportunity to speak with both Kevin Sylvester and Wilner Baptiste after the show. The result for many was life changing.
Djarese Blevins would go on to say “I thought it was great how they (Black Violin) collaborated mixing hip hop and classical music” He would also say “it was overwhelmingly inspiring and how they didn’t buy into the sterotypes but used that to drive them towards where they are today; I would definitely see them again!”
So glad to have discovered this article & Blue Foundation ! Tx for all you do 🙏
