24 BLACK VIOLIN: CLASSICAL BOOM TOUR WED, MAR 7 | DELL HALL | 7:30PM The Genre-bending Duo Returns to the Long Center To most people, jazz, hip-hop, funk, and classical are musical genres. But to revolutionary music group Black Violin, they're nothing but ingredients. Combining a daunting array of musical styles and influences to produce a signature sound that is not quite maestro, not quite emcee, this group of two classically trained violinists and their DJ is redefining the music world— one string at a time. With influences ranging from Shostakovich and Bach to Nas and Jay-Z, Black Violin breaks all the rules, blending the classical with the modern to create something special. Black Violin shows that music does not exist within a box, but rather exists in a space as open and unrestrained as the minds that produce it. ■ 24 LONG CENTER PRESENTS 24 2017-2018 W I N T E R/S P R I N G S E A S O N BLACK VIOLIN (PHOTO BY COLIN BRENNAN)
