Dame Evelyn Elizabeth Ann Glennie, DBE (born 19 July 1965) is a Scottish virtuoso percussionist. She is announced as one of the two laureates for the Polar Music Prize of 2015.
Glennie was born and raised in Aberdeenshire. Her father was Herbert Arthur Glennie, 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. Other major influences were Glenn Gould, Jacqueline du Pré and Trilok Gurtu. She studied at Ellon Academy and the Royal Academy of Music, and was also a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland. She was a member of the Cults Percussion Ensemble, formed in 1976 by local musical educator Ron Forbes. They toured and recorded one album, which was re-released on Trunk Records in 2012.
Glennie tours extensively in the northern hemisphere, spending up to four months each year in the United States, and performs with a wide variety of orchestras and contemporary musicians, giving over 100 concerts a year as well as master classes and "music in schools" performances; she frequently commissions percussion works from composers and performs them in her concert repertoire.
She also plays the Great Highland Bagpipes and has her own registered tartan known as "The Rhythms of Evelyn Glennie". Glennie is in the process of producing her own range of jewellery and works as a motivational speaker. Evelyn also performed at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in London 2012, leading a thousand drummers in the opening piece of music, and then playing the Aluphone during the ceremony for lighting the Olympic cauldron.
Glennie has been profoundly deaf since the age of 12, having started to lose her hearing from the age of 8. This does not inhibit her ability to perform at an international level. She regularly plays barefoot during both live performances and studio recordings to feel the music better.
Glennie contends that deafness is largely misunderstood by the public. She claims to have taught herself to hear with parts of her body other than her ears. In response to what she described as mostly inaccurate reporting by the media, Glennie published "Hearing Essay" in which she discusses her condition.
Glennie was featured on Icelandic singer Björk's album Telegram, performing the duet "My Spine". She has collaborated with many other musicians including former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, Bela Fleck, Bobby McFerrin, Fred Frith and The King's Singers.
On 21 November 2007, the UK government announced an infusion of £332 million for music education. This resulted from successful lobbying spearheaded by Glennie, Sir James Galway, Julian Lloyd Webber, and Michael Kamen, who also (in 2002-03) together formed the Music in Education Consortium.
In 2012, she collaborated with Underworld on the soundtrack to the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games and performed live in the stadium.
In 1994, Glennie married composer, sound engineer and tuba player Greg Malcangi, with whom she collaborated on several musical projects. They divorced in 2003, following her widely publicised affair with orchestral conductor Leonard Slatkin.

Utterly astonishing. The dynamics, the rhythms, the cross-rhythms, the power, the delicacy, the stamina, the technique... NOBODY makes a drum talk as she does. And here she was just 26.....

What an incredible musician. Her stick and finger control are in that rarefied league of master drummers and percussionists. Oh, and she's deaf.

[@DynamoGaming-iv8hk]

She felt the vibrations of xylophone and other instruments so well that although she was deaf but she could play the music so melodiously and sweetly..m

[@florencecherki2304]

[@timsears7811]

Im a rock drummer not really into Classical Music and she blew me away.. Bravo Evelyn Glennie!!!

[@alaskanfrogman]

One of the rarest treasures to the world of music. And... she is profoundly deaf. What a strange, seemingly sad but a wonderful irony, that someone who cannot hear sound as those of us in the hearing world, can be so gifted to bring beautiful sounds in the way that only she can... I love her and love her gift. If ever she came to Alaska and performed, I would do my damndest to find a way to see her at least just once in my life... only once... it would last the rest of my life, however much may be left fit.

[@lynnallenyoung6389]

here's a little gift I may have forgotten . no one should have to go through life without experiencing Evelyn Glennie . she is ,sort of is.... to drumming what einstein is to math.

[@eddieredmond7674]

That could be interpreted as a rather rude statement! I think you meant (She) - is to drumming what Einstein is to physics? Einstein was not an accomplished mathematician, and actually failed his degree due to a lack of rigour in algebra. He was however a brilliant thinker and identified for all to see, the point of diversion that a physicist should take if you want to deviate from the finite tableaux of classical physics of linear systems, and walk a new path where linearity is just one (very distinct) behaviour out of a nearly infinite array of possible, curved paths. I consider Einstein one of the great philosophers of our time, given his way of always following his thoughts to conclusion, regardless of their counter-intuitive indications. He had the nerve to develop the thoughts towards an all encompassing description of reality, despite the lack of any significant proof of these systems at the time. Once armed with his new physics , others began to use the equations therein, to check whether the behaviour of real systems, as they respond to stimuli, is or is not, well described by the tools he provided to them. The simplicity of some such ideas is seen when the prediction that a planet will come into view several minutes earlier than expected when the sun passes in front of our view of it. The planet was seen earlier than anticipated, suggesting the sun had courved the path of the light from the planet... This proved that space-time is an actual space, and that it is curved by the presence of matter (i.e. gravity deforms space-time). Likewise, when Evelyn Glennie talks about her thinking and approach to music, you know you are being introduced to the non-linear systems in a musical form. Time speeds up, slows, nearly stops, pitch and timbre co-mingle, and sometimes induce warmth but often send a shudder of discordance through your ears, that your mind sort of almost shies away from - Shear brilliance, clarity of thought, and a mission to inform. Pure physics 101

If you didn;t know she was deaf you wouldn't be listening to her playing on solo percussion instruments for an hour. She is famous for being talented despite her handicap. Still is only playing solo here and unless you are a percussionist pretty boring.
