“Tunes and Expressions”: Favorite Songs of Jane Austen

We know Jane Austen as a beloved author whose keen depictions of human nature continue to delight. But she was also a pianist, singer, and music aficionado. Her personal songbooks contain a treasure trove of Regency Era music curated by Jane herself. Like many of her literary heroines, her own personality is revealed by her musical tastes.

The musicians of Lafferty Pike will present selections from Jane Austen’s eclectic collection, including comic operas, hymns, dances, instrumental showpieces, and romantic ballads. Travel back in time with the sounds of harp, violin, and guitar to hear the music that cheered and inspired this remarkable woman.
