Event information

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, ‘Sense and Musicality’  explores the importance of music in Jane’s life, and her relationship with it. The programme includes music Jane, herself, played and sang (some being scores found in the Austen family music albums, often in her own hand) as well as music and composers mentioned or alluded to in her novels. Also included are pieces from the soundtracks of much loved screen adaptations, quotes from her writing, and extracts from letters between Jane and family members, most often her beloved sister Cassandra.
