Calling all Jane Austen fans – this one is for you. As we eagerly await the release of Sense and Sensibility, only in theaters October 16, there is a very special Candlelight Concert to get you even more excited in the lead-up. On October 11, a string quartet and pianist will take to the stage at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute to play a tribute to Jane Austen – surrounded by the soft glow of hundreds of candles.
What can I expect from the concert?
There is something truly magical about hearing a string quartet play classical tunes by candlelight, and the inclusion of Jane Austen-inspired songs makes that even more special. You won’t just be listening to any old concert on this night. Expect an intimate evening at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute, where candlelight and live music will set the scene for an evening inspired by the elegance, romance and drama associated with Jane Austen’s novels. The setlist will range from songs you’ll know from past Jane Austen adaptations to music inspired by her stories, from familiar tunes to new favorites to add to your playlist.
What do I need to know before the night?
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of all of Jane Austen’s books or you’re a relative newcomer thanks to the Sense and Sensibility trailer, don’t worry about brushing up on any background knowledge ahead of time. This is a night to just sit back and enjoy some classic tunes in a beautiful setting. The only thing to do in advance is book your tickets. Seats are limited and likely to sell out quickly! It all takes place on October 11 at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute at 4:15pm.
