The performance explored both the music that a Jane Austen character might have heard or played herself and music inspired by Jane Austen characters. The latter included newly composed songs based on the texts of the novels such as:
Lady Catherine de Bourgh's speech about music
Mrs. Elton's effusions about Maple Grove
Marianne Dashwood's heartbreaking letters to Willoughby
Ann Elliot's speech which finally convinced Captain Wentworth that she still loved him
There was also a program about the music by CSU English professor and Jane Austen scholar, Dr. Kathryn Pratt-Russell.

Dr. Christina Howell, Assistant Professor of Voice
