Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts’ Symphony of the Lakes will end its 2014-2015 season on April 18 at Rodeheaver Auditorium with a concert entitled “The Master and His Pupil” sponsored by the Kosciusko County Community Foundation.

After graduation, Ben plans on attending Calvin College to study physics.
