I'm actually pretty mad it's taken 11 years to get these people on my feed and I'm a Black person from New York that listens to classical music regularly, like wtf?? Subscribed immediately. I hope they're still at it, this is dope!

FAMILY,

I GREW UP PLAYING THE DRUMS, BY THE AGE OF 19 I WAS ON MY WAY UNTIL I STARTED RUNNING WITH THE WRONG CROWD.

BY THE AGE OF 23 I NEVER PLAYED PRO AGAIN.

NOW AT 68 YEARS YOUNG WITH A 7 YEAR OLD GRANDSON, I ENROLLED HIM IN VIOLIN CLASS, SUPRISENTLY HE LOVES IT.

HE STARTED SEPT 2024, AND HIS FIRST CONCERT WITH HIS OTHER CLASSMATES WILL BE ON MAY 4TH 2024, GRANDSON TOLD ME HE'S AFRAID TO GO ON STAGE BUT THE ORCHESTRA TEACHER SHOWS GREAT PATIENCE.

I HOPE HE STICKS WITH IT.

FAMILY, PLEASE WISH HIM WELL.

THANKS

1 LOVE ❤

Today, you guys played in Anchorage Alaska. My Grand Daughter is 8 years old. And, has been taking Viola lessons for the past 3-4 months. She got to see the FREE concert you had for the school kids. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You inspired her more than you may understand. I told her. It's all up to her. If she puts her effort in. She can play as well as you guys, before she believes she can. You guys are Awesome. You gave our kids something beyond a simple show. You inspired many, like my Grand Daughter, Claire. Thank You! XOXO

The violin tells a story far better than any lyrics and voice would. Beautifully done

Not sure why Black Violin is just now hitting my feed but glad to have discovered what I've been missing. Just another example of how Black ppl can take the ordinary & make it extraordinary. Plz keep shining YOUR light!!!

Black Violin needs an international tour!!! Come to Japan, boys!!!

I have a much older friend who is a violinist but is very old school and had no tolerance for hip hop. Yet he heard this, saw the video, and said this is the greatest violin playing he has heard in decades, and this man is a classically trained violinist and has been playing the violin since he was 5 years old, so nearly 70 years. Black Violin is now one of his favorite bands and he teaches violin classes using both classical violin and Black Violin music. He encourages his students to experiment with ALL different styles. He has downloaded a lot of Black Violin music and sometimes I can hear it blasting from the mp3 his granddaughter have him as a birthday gift last year.

Imagine seeing a whole symphony jamming like this.

As a fan of Jazz ... Classical and old skool hip hop if this is the wave of the future then COUNT ME IN!!! Black classically trained violinists mixin it up with a funky beat? Give me more!!!

I have been playing cello for 5 years now and you guys have really inspired me. I almost quit 2 years ago when things got hard, but because of you guys I persisted. So I thank you for that!

This is so 😍 beautiful! Proof that God is everywhere! 🙏🎉 *So lucky I found this beauty here in 2024❤

These guys have played for Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Lupe Fiasco, Linkin Park, Alicia Keys, the Roots, Kanye West, etc. Very talented. My kids and I met these guys, they did a Masterclass at a local college in my area, they are such, nice, kind, patient guys. They remain humble despite their growing fame. All the students got to improv with them individually and learn how to loosen up on their string instruments, kids that are used to playing nothing but classical music.

During the masterclass the students got to play alongside them and learn how to improv a little!

The band they tour with is very talented as well! They did an actual concert at the college later and the tickets were sold out!
