Episode 95: The Thing About Mary's Concerto with Dr. Lidia Chang

Mary Bennet is ready to wow the audience with her concerto, but it's not receiving the rousing reception she might have hoped for.

Albert Ludovici "Fantasia in White," c.1854. (We know Symphony No. 5 isn't a concerto, but we couldn't resist the dad joke.)

This episode we welcome back Dr. Lidia Chang to discuss Mary's performances within the context of Regency era societal expectations for a young lady's musical education and accomplishments.

Thank you so much to Lidia for joining us for this episode! You can find her online at https://www.lidiachang.com and follow her on Instagram @Lidiaac.
