AIR 021 / Evelyn Glennie - a podcast by Emma Robertson

The 21st episode of AIR is here, and this time I travelled to Huntingdon, England to speak with Scottish percussionist and musician Dame Evelyn Glennie.

After suffering the loss of her hearing at age 12, Evelyn learned to listen through vibration. A trained musician and multi instrumentalist, she has since gone on to become one of the foremost solo percussionists touring and recording today. This episode focuses on feeling music, the act of true listening, and the physicality of performance.
