A graduate of Wapakoneta High School has reached a milestone in his college career, as he will be performing at his senior recital this weekend.
Adam Fahncke, a 2006 graduate of Wapakoneta High School, is a four-year student at Ohio Northern University where he is studying music and business management. He has been preparing for his recital ever since he entered college.
“It takes many hours, not only sitting at a piano, but I work on score study, studying the music, learning the music and memorizing the music,” Fahncke said. “It’s a long process.”
