Join us for our second annual community ballroom concert, featuring a performance by the Cactus Pear Music Festival, Central Texas' premier summer chamber music festival. To open the ballroom doors to the whole community we offer this concert on a "pay what you like" basis. Thank you for your generosity in supporting our mission to bring great music to our small town.

Blanco Performing Arts was born from a simple but powerful idea: that world-class music doesn’t belong only in big cities and concert halls, it belongs everywhere, including the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

Since our founding in 2010, we’ve brought internationally acclaimed artists to our small town, transforming spaces like the Uptown Blanco Ballroom into intimate stages where music connects, inspires, and uplifts. Our audiences are neighbors, students, families, and friends who share the belief that the arts can build stronger, more vibrant communities.

We are proud to present a wide range of performances, from classical chamber ensembles to mariachi and tango, offering something for everyone while staying rooted in artistic excellence. We also believe in access: through free community concerts and inclusive programming we’re committed to making music available to all.

Blanco Performing Arts is fueled by the generosity of people like you. Your support helps us bring remarkable musicians to Blanco, keep ticket prices accessible, and invest in the cultural life of our region. Every dollar makes a difference—and every note played is a testament to what we can do together.

Join us in keeping the music alive, right here at home.
