TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer -- TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TEDx program and the annual TED Prize.

Every time Evelyne talks I feel like a student in school learning the most basic things about how to listen.

I heard Evelyn Glennie play with the Houston Symphony many years ago, and I remember it as if it were today. She is stunning in everything that she does! I had goosebumps throughout the whole performance. And now, with this video, I am privileged to hear her amazing insights and witness her innate modesty -- the sign of a true genius. I agree totally with everything you have written about so beautifully, Viktor van Nierkerk! What a wonderful human being she is and how fortunate we are to be able to experience this video!
