Sense & Sensibility

0 upcoming performances in New York

At Town Hall, *Sense & Sensibility* is heard as film score, placed in the larger tradition of Jane Austen on screen and in concert. The Sinfonietta, an all-female orchestra, joins Grammy-recognized collaborators and pianist-composer Emily Bear, with a few modern twists threaded through the classical frame. The program marks Austen’s 250th birthday alongside music from other adaptations, treating cinema scoring as part of the city’s ongoing repertory culture. In New York, this kind of archival listening can feel like criticism in sound.
