Blanco Performing Arts’ first performance of the season was The Artisan Quartet, held in the Uptown Blanco Courtyard. “I was impressed with the happy expressions on the faces of the audience,” said coordinator Vickie Pautz, “both during the concert and afterwards and very glad for such a good turnout. The Mambo is an experience in rhythmic precision that delighted and energized the audience.” The next performance, by REVEL, will be on February 4.
