About
Violinsanity musicians, violinists Dominique Agnew and Becky Ross, began playing together as a way of sharing their love of Classical music. In a desire to share their enthusiasm, they began performing and have performed for weddings, parties, receptions, corporate and fundraising events, and teas.
Dominique Agnew began playing the violin at age eight and studied privately with Angelo Gatto. She played with the Maryland Youth Symphony Orchestra through high school and with the Maryland Symphonette for three seasons. Since then, she has focused on raising her family while accompanying the choirs of St. Louis de France, St. John Neumann (including their Italian concert tour in 2001), and Our Lady of the Presentation Catholic Churches. With Violinsanity, she is enjoying her return to professional playing. Mrs. Agnew offers private violin instruction.
Becky Ross was classically trained on violin as a child and was drawn to begin playing again after discovering Celtic fiddle music. She performs with several Celtic groups in the Washington, D.C. area and plays regularly for English and Scottish Country Dances. She also gives Scottish fiddling lessons. Becky accompanies the St. John Neumann Church choir (including their Italian concert tour in 2001). As part of Violinsanity, she is enjoying the return to her classical roots.
