Last year on NPR, classical pianist Jeremy Denk called Bach's much-loved
Goldberg Variations — mostly performed in G major — "a recipe for monotony and failure." But we can vouch that any concert by the Owen/Cox Dance Group is hardly humdrum.
Selections from The Goldberg Variations features the KC modern-dance ensemble, with pianist Kairy Koshoeva, doing portions of the 80-minute piece. The free performance, part of the Ruel Joyce Concert Series at Johnson County Community College, begins at noon in the Carlsen Center's Polsky Theatre (12345 College Boulevard, Overland Park).
