Getting Local With Jane: Performance Edition
Here’s the latest listing of upcoming events of interest to Jane Austen fans. One of them might just be in your neighborhood! (And we love post-event reports!)
July 18, 2008, Pasadena, California: Laurie Viera Rigler will give a reading from her book, Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, at Vroman’s Bookstore at 7 p.m.
August 8 and 11, 2008, Edinburgh: “An Evening at Pemberley“: As part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, soprano Patrice Boyd will sing music from Jane Austen’s time period.
The music features classical selections from Mozart, Handel, Haydn, Purcell, Bishop and other composers of the era. To complete the historical mood, Miss Boyd will perform in period dress in the handsome Georgian oval of St. Andrew’s and St. George’s Church, one of Edinburgh’s premier classical music venues.
Gentle Readers not in the environs of Edinburgh might want to scroll down to the bottom of the page, which has a list of upcoming concerts in North America.
Note: Getting Local With Jane will be published on Thursday from now on. All part of our ongoing improvement efforts here at AustenBlog World Headquarters.
