Lively Collaboration Mixes Dance and Music… Baroque music has been described as expressing order, but always lively and tuneful. The musical period, roughly from 1600 to 1750, includes notable composers like Bach and Vivaldi. Many of the works from the era are dance music, or inspired by the court dances of the time.

Sometimes a combination of two art forms gives a performance greater beauty and impact.
That’s the case with the Bach Aria Soloists, who will collaborate with the Owen/Cox Dance Group in “Baroque in Motion,” a concert premiering 7:30 p.m. Saturday in UMKC’s White Recital Hall.
