A Foodie Who Plays Cello Standing Up: Meet Avett Brothers Cellist, UNC alum Joe Kwon

Posted Nov 14, 2015
As a kid, Joe Kwon spent all of his time doing two things: practicing the cello and eating delicious food. His family had recently immigrated to North Carolina from South Korea so his house was always filled with family and lavish Korean cooking....He failed to get into a college music program, so he ended up at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he studied computer science.
