Jane Austen’s World

Jane Austen’s World.

Literary and Musical Performance

In the year of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the brilliant English novelist Jane Austen, we invite you to an extraordinary performance where the pages of her novels will come to life, accompanied by the music of her era — the melodies that once filled balls, concerts and elegant salons.

You will step into a world alive with voices, emotions, and the subtle irony of English society. And that which no words can express will be conveyed by the music of equally magnificent composers — Mozart, Haydn and Clementi — contemporaries of Austen, whose works she herself performed and who undoubtedly influenced the temperaments of her literary characters.

The living, tender, sharp, refined, and strikingly honest world of Jane Austen will be brought to life for you this evening by reader Anton Tsybin and pianist German Markhasin.
