Artistic Temperaments Festival

Jupiter Ensemble

Part of the Turner Sims Spring Season 2025

Add to my Calendar 14-02-2025 13:00 14-02-2025 15:00 36 Artistic Temperaments Festival Celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th anniversary in the first evening concert of Artistic Temperaments Festival 2025. The Jupiter Ensemble returns to the Festival to celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th anniversary with Carl Davis’s much-loved score for the 1995 film of ‘Pride & Prejudice‘. Rossini’s wit and classic style have much in common with Austen. His ‘Thieving Magpie’ overture certainly conjures up the right atmosphere, as does Mendelssohn’s Octet, composed by the sixteen-year-old composer just a few years after Austen’s early death. The concert also includes a great rarity, ‘Admired Melodies from the May Queen’, which explores the score that Sir William Sterndale Bennett created for the opening of Leeds Town Hall in 1858. Turner Sims Concert Hall, Southampton DD/MM/YYYY
