Discover the Soundtrack of Jane Austen’s World
Founded in 2019, The Jane Austen Playlist is an innovative historical music project that brings to life the music of the Austen family through digitized notation, companion recordings, and dramatically narrated performance. While Austen is celebrated for her novels and unforgettable characters, she was also deeply passionate about music. Her letters and stories are filled with references to musical accomplishment, social gatherings, and the role music played in the daily life of Regency England.
This enchanting concert offers audiences a glimpse into the drawing rooms and salons of Austen’s novels, from the elegance of Netherfield to the lively gatherings at Sir John Middleton’s home, where young ladies’ musical skill was both an art and a social expectation. Through music and narration, The Jane Austen Playlist paints a vivid portrait of romance, culture, and creativity in Austen’s era.
