Adeline Mueller (Music) co-organized and hosted a bicentenary symposium on the blind Viennese pianist, composer and educator Maria Theresia Paradis (1759-1824), entitled "Reframing the Gaze: Maria Theresia Paradis, Blind Musicians, and Musical Culture Before and After Braille" (November 22-23, 2024 - see https://sites.google.com/mtholyoke.edu/paradis). The hybrid symposium included two keynote speakers and thirteen panelists from across North America and Europe, as well as three music concerts, featuring faculty performers Sherezade Panthaki (voice), Allison Monroe (violin), Sandra Dennis (piano), Adrianne Greenbaum (flute), Larry Schipull (Emeritus, piano), Jiayan Sun (Smith, piano), several student soloists, and the Mount Holyoke College Chamber Singers and Symphony Orchestra, culminating in the modern-day world premiere of a recently rediscovered cantata by Paradis. The symposium was accompanied by a hands-on, accessible exhibition of archival texts, images and tools related to blind musicians and music education of the blind -- including a modern-day replica of a composing board invented for Paradis, designed and built by Luke Jaeger and colleagues in the Fimbel Maker and Innovation Lab. Student research assistant Siggy Ehrlich '26 prepared object labels for the exhibition, a timeline of significant events in Paradis's life, and a map of her European tour.
