Dr. Julia Grella O’Connell, Director of Education and Community Engagement, explores the history of “binder’s volumes” — collections of sheet music that were treasured by girls and women in the nineteenth century — and the ways they functioned as bearers of memory. She will be showing volumes from her own collection.

Art critic Walter Pater stated that “All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music.” Director of Education and Community Engagement Dr. Julia Grella O’Connell gives an informal talk about music iconography, the depiction of music and music-making in the visual arts.
