Black Violin: The Be Free Tour with Braxton Cook

Black Violin brings its “Be Free” Tour 2026 to the Warner Theatre for a high-energy performance that blends classical string technique with hip-hop rhythms, bold beats, and messages of individuality and self-expression. GRAMMY-nominated musicians Wil Baptiste and Kev Marcus lead an evening designed to challenge expectations about string music while celebrating creativity, authenticity, and connection.

Special guest Braxton Cook joins Black Violin for the concert. The performance also reflects the duo’s broader educational mission through the Black Violin Foundation, which reaches more than 100,000 students each year.
