Review: Kairy Koshoeva and the Owen/Cox Dance Group- Polsky Theatre
I used to think about love, mortality and God as I listened to the Goldberg Variations. Not anymore. A concert at Polsky Theatre on Monday may have forever altered the associations I'll make when I hear Bach's famous work. A performance by the Owen/Cox Dance Group accompanied Kairy Koshoeva as she played the variations in its entirety. Jennifer Owen's creative choreography managed to make the composition seem like a natural modern dance soundtrack. The sole flaw occurred at the conclusion of a few segments as Koshoeva's otherwise stellar playing was sullied by the necessity of monitoring the readiness of the dancers. The free performance served as a preview of a June 8 concert at White Recital Hall.

Freedy Johnston actually opened the show with "Trying To Tell You I Don't Know." Great opener, and then "Bad Reputation" second. He let up a little after that and played a bunch of new song. I think he said he has a new album already recorded. The set also included "The Mortician's Daughter," "This Perfect World," "Don't Fall In Love With A Lonely Girl, and "On the Way Out." My first time in the Czar Bar, and I picked a perfect night to check it out.
Dang! Thanks for the report. I had tough choices to make that night. My selection was clearly inferior to yours.
