The Performing Arts Center closes out its calendar year with another guitar-centric masterclass. Colombia-born Vegas resident Ricardo Cobo is a six-stringer renowned for his spirited and expertly honed fretwork. The former UNLV professor returns to his old stomping ground with the show “Diary of Musical Images” — that’s three nouns that normally don’t go together, but trust the process, folks. If you haven’t experienced Latin American classical guitar by a literal maestro in person, avail yourself of this inexpensive opportunity.
