Mary Rowell (violin) began to learn violin at age 6 when her mother suggested it. After many years of bribes, brow-beatings and being allowed to drive the farm tractor to lessons in the summer, Mary received BM and MM degrees from the Juilliard School and is currently Concertmaster of the Radio City Orchestra and the Palm Beach Pops. She performs regularly as a recitalist and has appeared internationally as electric violin soloist with The New York City Ballet. A member of the Grammy®Award-winning Tango Project and a founding member of the alt-rock band the Silos, she has also toured and collaborated with Sheryl Crow, Joe Jackson, Madonna and Clem Snide, among others. Mary is from Vermont and has been known to confound and amaze people with her command of the native dialect, by jeezum!
