Dance programs dominate this weekend's schedule, with the City in Motion Dance Theatre's always-outstanding "Choreographer's Showcase" on Saturday night, featuring the work of ten local talented choreographers. Preceding it on Friday night is the athletic Pilobolus Dance Theatre at the Lied Center in Lawrence. Fans of vocal music will enjoy the Civic Opera Theatre's "Mozart: A Biography in Music" on Friday night, repeated Sunday afternoon, and have an unusual chance to hear the Dutch a capella group Quink at Visitation Church on Saturday evening. Also on Friday and Sunday the William Baker Festival singers perform in Kansas City and in Lawrence, respectively. For orchestral music fans, the lone selection this weekend is a good one: the UMKC Conservatory orchestra under Robert Olson performs Friday night. Sunday afternoon before the Super Bowl you have a couple of chances to hear excellent music performances. Jan Kraybill, the superb Community of Christ organist, will perform her annual free Super Bowl Sunday concert in Independence, and at Park College in Parkville, the International Center of Music artists will entertain you under the direction of Kansas City Symphony concert master Kanako Ito.
