How a Deaf Musician Changed the Way We Listen – Evelyn Glennie’s Story #shorts

Details

Description

Dame Evelyn Glennie is a Scottish percussionist who became the world's first full-time solo percussionist, despite being profoundly deaf since the age of 12. She developed a unique method of hearing music through vibrations, often performing barefoot to better feel the sound. Glennie has released over 40 solo recordings, earned two Grammy Awards, and collaborated with artists like Björk. Her TED Talk, "How to Truly Listen," has inspired millions to explore the art of listening beyond auditory perception. In 2012, she performed at the London Olympics Opening Ceremony, leading a thousand drummers. Beyond performance, she advocates for deep listening and education, emphasizing that listening is an active, holistic process involving the entire body and mind.
