Online Events Calendar
One of the (few) bright spots of the pandemic is the number of virtual programs — talks, exhibits, tours, discussions, and more — available online, removing the requirement of in-person attendance. The Jane Austen/Regency world has a growing number of online events of interest to our community. We’ve set up this Online Event Calendar to help you find some of them. Please check the listings and be sure to convert the event times (which are local to the organizers) to your location. To submit an event for the calendar, email news@jasnanorcal.org Note: JASNA regional events are also listed on the organization’s web site: http://jasna.org/conferences-events/

Jane Austen, Emma, and Music
March 18, 2021 @ 6:00 pm
‘Without music, the world is a blank’ says Mrs. Elton. Eighteenth century musicales or parlor performances included the traditional Irish air, a song from a ballad opera, piano sonatas, or a setting of a popular dance tune. They were frequent occurrences in society and it is reflected in Austen’s personal collections and in her work. In this lecture on Jane Austen’s Emma, join Grand Central Library and NYPL Music staff for a look into Jane Austen’s relationship with music and how it affected her writing.
