    Black Violin

    The Florida Theatre, 128 E Forsyth St, Jacksonville · verified Oct 9
    See details

    Black Violin treats jazz, hip hop, funk, and classical as raw materials to be mixed into something new. After high school, Wilner Baptiste, known as Wil B, and Kevin Sylvester, known as Kev Marcus, each earned full music scholarships, to Florida State University and Florida International University respectively. Performing alongside their DJ, the two classically trained violinists weave a wide range of influences into a signature sound that sits between classical finesse and the spirit of the emcee, pushing the violin into fresh territory. Braxton Cook, an American alto saxophonist and singer-songwriter, has toured with Christian Scott, Christian McBride, and Marquis Hill and has performed with Jon Batiste, Mac Miller, and Rihanna. His album Not Everyone Can Go blends jazz and R&B and evokes the glow of evening as the heat of the day fades. It does not settle into Quiet Storm, instead it moves through the margins. Across albums such as Somewhere In Between, No Doubt, and Who Are You When No One Is Watching? he continues to blur genre lines, making music that resists easy labels, a quality that is central to its appeal.

    Third Thursday Lecture & Book Launch

    Mandarin Museum & Historical Society presents an installment of its Fall 2026 Third Thursday Lecture Series featuring a book launch with author and storyteller Tim Gilmore. The program centers on his new release, "Memphis Wood and the Sanctified Fecund," and includes a reading and conversation with the author. Refreshments will be available, and the museum galleries will be open. Admission is free. Copies of the book will be for sale, with signing opportunities before and after the presentation. The book explores the life and impact of Memphis Wood, a seminal North Florida artist whose practice evolved from Abstract Expressionism and the Studio Craft Movement into lyrical work in fiber. Born in Dacula, Georgia in 1902, she later moved to Jacksonville and became one of the first public school art teachers in Duval County. Her exhibitions spanned from Florida to New York, and she collaborated with potter Charlie Brown and architect Robert Broward. Notable works include a 22-foot piece in Broward’s Unitarian Universalist Church of Jacksonville, the Belshazzar’s Feast series, and Night Bloom, which inspired a chamber quartet by composer Stella Sung. Drawing on dozens of interviews and hundreds of published accounts, this volume is Gilmore’s 26th book and offers a portrait of an influential and enigmatic figure in the region’s art history. This event is made possible with sponsorship from Endless Summer Roofing Co. and support in part from the Merit-Based Cultural Service Grant Program, administered by the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville with funding from the City of Jacksonville and elected officials.
