American Violinist and Musicians' Unionist Louise Koszalka has Died – Aged 100

American violinist, teacher, civil rights activist and active union member, Louise Koszalka has passed away – aged 100.

A graduate of Smith College and the University of Wisconsin, she served long-term sectional positions with both the New Orleans and San Antonio Symphony Orchestras.

Ms Koszalka taught in the Philadelphia area well into her 90s – and at age 100 still played weekly in her string quartet.

Our condolences are with Ms Koszalka's family, friends, students and colleagues.
