The Little Song Party
A Musical Kind of Little Wilderness
Jane Austen, Music and the Great Outdoors
Jonathan Delbridge and Penelope Appleyard take audiences on a musical jaunt to explore Jane Austen's love of music and the outdoors. Listeners will embark on a road trip from Jane's own garden, past Pemberley and all the way up to Scotland, taking in a spot of Regency landscape design!
Performed in period clothes and with an authentic square piano from 1814, 'The Little Song Party' blend scholarship with entertainment in their distinctive witty style, celebrating all the fun and creativity of domestic music-making. A scripted mix of music and speech, the playlist for the journey includes Voi Che Sapete by Mozart, Silent Worship by Handel, The Yellow Hair'd Laddie, and Auld Lang Syne, as well as poetry and much more.
West-Country based voice and piano partnership The Little Song Party perform creative and entertaining recital programmes on historical themes. They are currently focusing on domestic music of the Regency era. Frequently to be found in period costume, chauffeuring a 209-year-old Broadwood square piano, 'Lady Catherine', around the UK in a Skoda estate, Penelope and Jonathan travel around performing their unique semi-theatrical programmes.
