The Mount Holyoke Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Singers, and selected faculty, students, alums, and friends perform a reconstruction of one of Maria Theresia Paradis’ 1810s Vienna studio concerts -- featuring piano solos, duos, and instrumental and vocal chamber music by Paradis, Mozart, Beethoven, Wanhal, Fusz, and more; Paradis’ Overture to her Singspiel Der Schulkandidat; and the modern-day world premiere of an excerpt from her recently rediscovered cantata, Das Wiedersehen; all interspersed with excerpts from glowing accounts of these concerts in the German press.

Part of the bicentenary symposium Reframing the Gaze: Maria Theresia Paradis, Blind Musicians, and Musical Culture Before and After Braille (November 22-23, 2024, Mount Holyoke College and online).
