Experience Jane Austen’s world through the music she loved. In Sense & Musicality, soprano Penelope Appleyard and square‑piano specialist Jonathan Delbridge, recreate an early 19th‑century musical salon, performing on a Broadwood square piano like Austen’s own. This acclaimed programme blends exquisite period music, readings from Austen’s letters and novels, and lively narration in costume. Audiences are transported into Austen’s emotional and musical landscape, with favourites from her family music books, pieces she heard in concert, works that inspired the novels, and the newly commissioned setting of her poem Ode to Pity. Praised for its atmosphere, scholarship and charm, Sense & Musicality delights fans of music, history and literature alike.
