This February, Indianapolis will have a chance to experience Black Violin / Indianapolis Recorder

This February, Indianapolis will have a chance to experience Black Violin at Clowes Memorial Hall on Saturday, Feb. 18, 2017. If you're into rocking out to a genre-blending synthesis of hip-hop, pop and classical music with people of all ages and backgrounds, a Black Violin show might be the move.

The duo, who call themselves Wil and Kev on stage, aim to bridge the gap between classical music and hip-hop.

If you want to do something, do it," said Baptiste.
