MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2018 © olin ev Marcus and Wil Baptiste first met in orchestra 7:30 PM Kclass at the Dillard High School of the Performing OHIO THEATRE Arts in Fort Lauderdale, FL. After attending college on full music scholarships, the duo formed Black Violin and started covering their favorite hip-hop songs. The act immediately gained popularity in South Florida, and their distinctive sound became known as “classical BLACK boom.” A few years later, Black Violin’s music career took off in 2004 after submitting a tape and being invited to appear on “Showtime at the Apollo,” where VIOLIN they won and continued to win.

Since then, Black Violin’s career has exploded with national press attention, annual headline tours at some of the most respected venues in the U.S., a chart- topping album, and more. The band, now joined on stage by DJ SPS and drummer Nat Stokes, plays over 100 shows per year and has performed for more than 100,000 students in the past 12 months. Black Violin has been featured on NPR’s “Morning Edition,” “The PBS News Hour,” “Wendy Williams,” and “Ellen” DeGeneres. They have appeared at official NFL celebrations for three Super Bowls, U.S. Open at Forest Hills, and were ESPN’s official artist for the 2018 U.S. Open tennis tournament. Black Violin has also performed for the U.S. troops in Iraq and at President Obama’s official Inaugural Ball.

Wil and Kev greatly value and appreciate the importance of music education, dedicating much of their time to working with students and schools. In December, Black Violin was announced as the Turnaround Artist for Mary B. Bethune Elementary School in their hometown of Broward County, FL. Turnaround Arts, a national education program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, infuses arts into struggling schools to support overall reform efforts. Founded by President Obama’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities in 2012, the program

CAPA 13 BLACK VIOLIN CONT. partners schools with music instrument grants, arts supplies, professional development, musicals, and pairs each school with an artist to provide mentorship, inspiration, and support for the school’s journey in the program. Turnaround Artists include Elton John, Edward Norton, and Yo-Yo Ma; just a few among other highly acclaimed members of the arts community.

In addition, the band is endorsed by Yamaha Music, and has partnered with the National Association for Music Manufacturers (NAMM) to continue their advocacy for accessible music education.

After a successful touring season, which included back-to-back sellouts at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Black Violin is currently working on their upcoming studio album.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2018 © orn in Queens, New York, Lucia Micarelli was immersed 8 PM Bin the arts by the age of three, diligently practicing dance, LINCOLN THEATRE piano, and violin. It didn’t take long to discover her passion and greatest talent was the violin, which quickly became her main focus. After moving to Hawaii at the age of five, she continued to refine her skills on the violin, and just a year later, made her debut as a soloist with the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra. Soon after, she began frequently appearing on local LUCIA television shows and concertizing throughout the islands. At age 11, Micarelli was accepted into the Juilliard School of MICARELLI Music’s Pre-College Division. She studied with the renowned violin pedagogue Dorothy DeLay, and also took lessons with Itzhak Perlman, Cho-Liang Lin, and Won-Bin Yim. Within a year, playing against some of the world’s most gifted prodigies, she won the Pre-College Concerto Competition and settled into a routine that would combine instruction with concert appearances at the Hollywood Bowl, Lincoln Center, and other prominent international venues. She spent her summers at the Aspen Music Festival, regularly performing with the orchestra, and won the Violin Concerto Competition in 2000, resulting in a performance of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with the Festival Orchestra.

At 17, Micarelli left Juilliard to attend the Manhattan School of Music, where she studied with celebrated international violinist Pinchas Zukerman. It was during this time that she began to develop a growing interest in non-classical music, moonlighting with local jazz and rock bands in New York clubs. By the following year, she had accepted an offer to tour with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra as a featured violinist and concertmaster.

Over the last ten years, Micarelli’s profile has continued to soar. She’s been a featured soloist in two of Josh Groban’s world tours, toured extensively with Chris Botti, and was featured in his “Live from Boston” PBS special (from which the duet they performed together, “Emmanuel,” has received more than five million YouTube views), and was featured in Barbra Streisand’s 2013 international tour. She also released two solo albums, Music from a Farther Room and Interlude. But 2009 saw Lucia broadening her career even further when she was cast in the starring role of Annie in HBO’s critically acclaimed series, “Treme,” which ran for four seasons and won a Peabody Award and a Primetime Emmy Award.
