Black Violin at Keller Auditorium

Portland’5 presents Black Violin at the Keller Auditorium, 222 S.W. Clay St, Portland, at 7:30 p.m. March 26 as part of the Black Violin Experience Tour. Tickets are $36 to $66, available at portland5.com/keller-auditorium/events/black-violin.

The Black Violin Experience Tour showcases the two-time Grammy-nominated duo Black Violin (Kev Marcus and Wil Baptiste), performing a fusion of classical sounds and hip-hop beats. Marcus performs on violin along with Baptiste’s viola and vocal performance. Joining them are Nat Stokes on drums, DJ SPS on the turntable and Liston Gregory on keys. They are reconceptualizing what a violin concert looks and sounds like, building bridges between Mozart, Marvin Gaye and Kendrick Lamar. For more information, visit blackviolin.net.
