He appeared in more than 20 productions in Wabash before moving on to study music and German at Stanford University. While living abroad as a German exchange student, he also honed his musical talents at the Berlin University of the Arts and studied under the German Opera Berlin’s distinguished vocalist Peter Maus. Currently, Dunnagan gives private lessons in vocal technique and diction, and coaches musical style. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree from Stanford University, he will continue his studies and pursue both a master’s degree in German this summer at Middlebury College and a master’s in voice at Notre Dame in the fall. This Honeywell House event is free of charge and open to the public. Call 260-563-2326, Ext. 21, for reservations. The Honeywell House is the former home of Mrs. Mark C.
