What better way to mark the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth than by whiling away an evening exploring the legendary author’s relationship with music, emotion, and romance? 

Featured pieces include some of Jane’s favourite compositions, and works from the Austen family collection that she played and sang. A new song, Ode To Pity - a rare musical setting of an Austen poem - is also included. 

The performers, in period dress, are early-music specialist Penelope Appleyard and pianist Jonathan Delbridge.
