Conducted by John Williams

The Telegraph and Argus publishes up-to-date information on Captured Past, the current exhibition at Haworth's Old School Room.

An exhibition of historic photographs of Haworth is helping to publicise a planned facelift for the village's Old School Room.
The restoration project aims to highlight the building's close links with the Bronte family and safeguard its future.
The Old School Room, in Church Street, was built in the mid-1800s by the the [sic] Reverend Patrick Bronte.
His children all worked there, and it was the venue for the wedding feast of Charlotte Bronte and Arthur Bell Nicholls.
The Bronte Society, which runs the museum and the parish church next door, have formed the partnership Bronte Spirit.
Last year it gained a grant of £43,300 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to plan the restoration project.
It now hopes to find the estimated £1 million needed to refurbish the Old School Room.
The first event is an exhibition of photographs, now open in the Old School Room, of Haworth and district ranging from the reign of Queen Victoria to the 1970s.
The official opening last week was rung in by the bellringers of St Michael's and All Saints Parish Church, led by Captain of the Bells Simon Burnett.
Admission to the exhibition is free and the opening hours are from 1pm to 4pm seven days a week until September. (Ali Davies)

It does sound like an interesting exhibition with an interesting project behind. If, however, distance prevents your from visiting, Ann Dinsdale's The Brontë Connection and Old Haworth might be nice substitutes.

The Daily Home reviews the dance piece Written on the Body.

The task relates to the work Cole put into choreographing the piece she titled “Written on the Body,” a reflection on the lives of Emily, Anne and Charlotte Bronte.
In the piece, Cole choreographs the individuals’ intricate personalities and lives to become dance movements, putting bodies in motion to show the dynamics of their selves.
The piece is multi-faceted, but a large part reflects the way the women wrote their books using a male name, and the way masculine and feminine traits are interspersed. (Laura Nation-Atchison)

And the Daily 49er reviews a recent performance of CSULB students conducted by no other than John Williams, who wrote the soundtrack for Jane Eyre 1970. It was performed too.

The AYS concert at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown Los Angeles included Williams' classics like "Star Wars," "Harry Potter," "Indiana Jones" and a few of his lesser-known works from films like "Jane Eyre" and "The Cowboys." (Bradley Zint)

Lucky, lucky students.
EDIT: Check the youtube rehearsal clip (2:35) uploaded by the American Youth Symphony Orchestra.

And as for the blogosphere, except for Athena reviewing Wuthering Heights in Italian, the place is all about Jane Eyre today. Both Sevallen and A day in the life review the novel, while Deceased Parrot posts a bunch of Jane Eyre 2006 icons.
