The Music Conservatory of Coeur d’Alene has awarded an Adam Benka Memorial Guitar Student Sponsorship of just over $1,000 to up-and-coming guitarist Josiah Babak, 11, a dedicated student of the Music Conservatory.
Mark Benka, a part-time resident of Coeur d’Alene, made a financial donation specifically for a promising guitar student in memory of his son, Adam, a guitarist who died Dec. 5, 2011, at age 22. He had just graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston with a degree in professional music. He was known as an enthusiastic and patient guitar instructor.
