About deCordova Performance Series with BLKBOK

Join BLKBOK for an evening of dynamic piano-driven pop and hip-hop at deCordova.

Born and raised in the inner city of Detroit, Charles Wilson III, known professionally as BLKBOK, has been immersed in music since a young age. Recognized as a piano prodigy by the age of eight, he won statewide accolades and excelled in college-level competitions. Choosing a path that reflected his deep connection to the piano and rap roots, he adopted the name BLKBOK, a nod to one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time, and an embodiment of the diverse influences that have shaped his artistic identity—from pop and hip-hop culture to groundbreaking, New-Classical expressions.

Through his music, BLKBOK illuminates a path of awareness and invites listeners on a journey that transcends the conventional, celebrating the power of music to unite and inspire.

deCordova’s programs are designed to welcome a wide range of ages and abilities. Please contact mnelson@thetrustees.org to discuss reasonable adaptations to benefit anyone in your group.
