Join us for a very special evening featuring the music, fashion, and flavors that make the era portrayed in Masterpiece’s Downton Abbey so appealing and memorable.
  • Listen to the New England Brass Band (pictured at left) bring the golden age of British music to life with timeless classics by Gustav Holst and other English composers.
  • Taste some of the dishes served to the British aristocracy, and feast your eyes on the fashion worn in Britain and the United States in the early 20th century.
  • See authentic and modern interpretations of dress from the time period depicted in Downton Abbey shared by fashion historians from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and Lasell College.
  • Hear insights on the culture and cuisine of the Edwardian Era offered by Boston University Gastronomy Professor Dr. Kyri Claflin.
