Evelyn Glennie

Description: In this soaring demonstration, deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie leads the audience through an exploration of music not as notes on a page, but as an expression of the human experience. Playing with sensitivity & nuance informed by a soul-deep understanding of & connection to music, she talks about a music that is more than sound waves perceived by the human ear. She illustrates a richer picture that begins with listening to yourself, & includes emotion & intent as well as the complex role of physical spaces -- instrument, concert hall & even the bones & body cavities of musician & listener alike.
