Koontz led the viola sections of the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra before returning to the United States to pursue studies toward a doctorate in musical arts at UNC-Greensboro.
The Hunger and Health Coalition works to ease poverty and hunger for families and individuals who are experiencing economic hardship and food shortages.
