A Thursday night in The Woodlands, with wine, great food, and music, is not that much of a stretch, but when you have an event thrown by Young Texas Artists (YTA) President/CEO Susie Moore Pokorski, at The Woodlands CountryClub,PalmerCourse. Plus you throw in some art, a world class pianist, and ditto thatwithaworldlytalentinan award winning soprano; then you have an evening that will berememberedforquitesome time.
