Pride & Prejudice

0 upcoming performances in New York

Dario Marianelli’s film score for *Pride & Prejudice* (2005) reframes Jane Austen’s social comedy as a study in tempo and restraint, with piano lines (famously associated with Jean‑Yves Thibaudet) set against chamber-orchestra color. At Town Hall, it appears within “Symphony & Sensibility,” an Austen anniversary program led by The Sinfonietta, an all‑female orchestra, with featured performers including Emily Bear and Grammy-recognized artists, plus a few modern turns. In New York, where Austen has long had a repertory afterlife on stage and screen, this music shows how cinema canonizes period feeling without embalming it. The score’s critical strength is its refusal to overstate emotion.
