	Drummerworld: Evelyn Glennie
		The fact that Evelyn has performed with virtually all of the world's finest orchestras and greatest conductors in the most famous concert halls only proves that Evelyn is one of the world's top international concert soloists and the most in demand solo percussionist in the world.
		What takes Evelyn a step beyond the ranks of the elite is that she combines her superb technical abilities, a profound appreciation of the visual elements of percussion along with her astonishing musicality to create performances of such stunning vitality that they almost constitute a new type of performance.
		Despite all the advice to the contrary, Evelyn is not only the first person to successfully create and sustain a full-time career as a solo percussionist in the history of classical music but is redefining the goals and expectations of percussion students, orchestras, concert promoters and the general public the world over.

	Evelyn Glennie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Evelyn Glennie (born July 19, 1965 in Aberdeen) is a Scottish virtuoso percussionist.
		Her father was an accordionist in a Scottish country dance band, and the strong, indigenous musical traditions of north-east Scotland were important in the development of the young musician, whose first instruments were the mouth organ and the clarinet.
		Glennie tours extensively in the northern hemisphere, spending up to four months each year in the United States, and performs with an extraordinarily wide variety of orchestras and contemporary musicians, giving over 100 concerts a year as well as master classes and 'music in schools' performances.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Evelyn Glennie
		Evelyn Glennie is considered to be one of the world's foremost solo percussionists, and with good reason.
		Glennie has long had the urge to make a completely improvised recording -- to shut herself in the studio with a series of basic ideas and a bunch of idiosyncratic instruments, and record whatever happens, without retakes.
		Glennie has sixteen arms, there must have been overdubs); it's a collaboration with producer Michael Brauer, and it's virtually guaranteed to redefine your ideas about percussion, improvisation and music.

	Online NewsHour: Evelyn Glennie -- June 14, 1999
		EVELYN GLENNIE: The thing about playing percussion is that you can create all these emotions that can be sometimes beautiful, sometimes really ugly, or sometimes sweet, sometimes as big as King Kong and so on.
		EVELYN GLENNIE: When a particular sound is made, you can truly, truly feel that in certain parts of your body, and you just have to be so unbelievably sensitive to begin to translate certain sounds.
		EVELYN GLENNIE: I think that the trait of north-easterners from Scotland is this sheer and utter stubbornness and single-mindedness and, you know, I would desperately try to do this, whatever the cost.

	Music & Nightlife in Santa Cruz, CA \| Profile \| Evelyn Glennie
		In addition to making Evelyn Glennie improvisational music's first superstar, last year's documentary Touch the Sound presented the compelling story of an artist whose phenomenal talent and downright stubbornness (she is, after all, Scottish) have transcended the limits of what common sense would suggest possible.
		So while these days Glennie lives in a tiny English village west of Cambridge that she describes as "more like a hamlet, just a clump of houses and that's it," her busy performance schedule keeps her at home in the world, performing in venues from California to Iceland and most points in between.
		GLENNIE: Oh no! [laughing] Well, it was at Cabrillo when we were performing UFO by Michael Daugherty the last time I was there.

	Evelyn Glennie
		Evelyn was born in northeast Scotland on her family's farm, about 20 miles from the city of Aberdeen.

		Glennie believes that music may be an effective way to link them to the outside world, Musical sounds seem to be easier for them to pick up and to identify; at times they are the only ones.

	Touch the Sound: A Sound Journey with Evelyn Glennie Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Although she's nearly eighty percent deaf, Scottish-born Evelyn Glennie is one of the world's most celebrated percussionists.
		But when Glennie performs, she completely loses herself in the music, which runs the gamut from her otherworldly collaboration with Frith in a German warehouse to snare drum sessions with Aibe.
		During a break between recording sessions with Glennie in Cologne, Germany, Frith describes artists as "people who are in touch with the energy they had as children." And, as the arrestingly beautiful Touch the Sound demonstrates, Glennie is an extraordinary artist, regardless of her hearing impairment.

	Evelyn Glennie - Singapore Symphony Orchestra (Shui) - Oriental Landscapes - Bis Records
		Typically, or stereotypically, concerti pit the solo instrument against the orchestra—the soloist developing the thesis, the orchestra answering with its antithesis, then either an outright convincing “argument” by the soloist or, as is the usual occurrence, both solo and orchestral arguments resolving into the synthesis.
		Glennie, who plays impeccably, has the benefit of sensitive and responsive support by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra.
		Glennie does not play in this work, and instead, a trio of able musicians handles percussion and the Singapore Symphony Orchestra successfully supports them.
