Danny Preston speaks with 2 members of the group Black Violin (Kev Marcus & Jody Hill). After their sold-out 2009 Atwood show, Black Violin  returns with their ultimate synergy between classical and hip-hop music. As graduates of Dillard Performing Arts High School, Black Violin chooses strings over streets using funk driven sounds and a positive message to give young people the same exposure to the arts and, therefore, the same opportunities they had.

Tomorrow Black Violin will be performing a show at the Atwood Concert Hall and a benefit Saturday at the Marriot Hotel. For more information on how to purchase tickets, call:

Atwood Concert Hall: 263-ARTS

Marriot Hotel: 272-7546
