Double tragedy: Promising violinist is killed with sister in Florida road smash
mainBrittany Musumeci, 23, was a recent music graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Her elder sister, Alexis Musumeci, 24, was an Air Force staff sergeant, heading for an assignment in Korea.
Both were killed when their Toyota was hit by a jeep going the wrong way as they returned home from a day out at Disneyland.
The jeep driver was critically injured.
Britanny, seen here with Yo Yo Ma, planned to open a violin teaching studio for underprivileged children.
Her college professor Bernard Zinck said: ‘She was really a special student, very talented, not pretentious, kind, respectful and she loved to perform… She had a very attractive, natural sound.’
May the two sisters rest in peace.
Brittany was a dear student in my UWM symphony orchestra… Brahms Symphony no.1 at our next week’s concert will be dedicated to her…
Their poor parents…
The man who killed them was not supposed to be behind the wheel of a car until at least 2020. He had just turned 24 and his license had been revoked because of a DUI in 2010 and for being caught twice for driving with a suspended license last year. In his hands, a car was a lethal weapon and this tragedy was avoidable.
My heart breaks for the girls’ mother and remaining sister.
