December 16, 2025, marks 250 years since the birth of beloved novelist Jane Austen. The Salon Series will celebrate with a salon concert recreating a Regency-era evening of home music-making. Jocelyn Claire Thomas and Emma Cowell will perform music from the Baroque and Classical eras, including music from Jane Austen’s own library of scores. December 16 also happens to be the birthday of Austen’s contemporary Ludwig van Beethoven, so his music will make a special appearance. This concert will appeal to lovers of classical music as well as lovers of literature and history. Period costume admired but not required!
