Happy Birthday to the super talented Scottish virtuoso percussionist. Evelyn Glennie who turned 57 today.
Tumblr media
Glennie was born and raised in Aberdeenshire. Her father was Herbert Arthur Glennie, a farmer who was also 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.  
She was a promising student of piano and clarinet as a child, and she was blessed with perfect pitch, the ability to identify or sing a note by ear. At age eight, Glennie started complaining of sore ears and hearing loss. Her condition steadily deteriorated, and by age 11 she needed a hearing aid, which she found distracting and later discarded. She continued to play music and found she could perceive the quality of a note by the level of the reverberations she could feel in her hands, wrists, lower body, and feet. Glennie counts as her major influences cellist Jacqueline du Pré and pianist Glenn Gould.
When she was 12, Glennie saw a schoolmate playing percussion. She started taking lessons, and, she told People, “… it felt right.” She graduated with honours from London’s prestigious Royal Academy of Music in 1985. It wasn’t easy for her to get into the academy she explains;
“To pursue my dream, I had to challenge the entry system for the Royal Academy of Music in London after they declined my first audition. They couldn’t quite see how a professional orchestra would hire a deaf person. I insisted on being judged on musical capability alone and not only convinced them to accept my application but help change the admission policy of musical institutions across the UK.”
She claims her deafness kept her from being caught up by social distractions and made her a better student, but she also realized it affected her ability to play in an orchestra, so she set her sights on becoming a soloist. In 1985 she made her professional debut; the following year she left for Japan to study the five-octave marimba for a year. Glennie’s first decade as a professional solo performer was filled with milestones: first performance of a new percussion concerto, first time an orchestra had performed with a solo percussionist, first solo percussion performance at a festival or venue. In 1990 she met Greg Malcagni, a recording engineer, and the two wed four years later.
Glennie tours extensively and exhaustively. She plays more than 100 concerts each year and has appeared across five continents. She plays on 20 to 50 instruments during each performance, “bounding,” as Michael Walsch wrote in Time, “from instrument to instrument with the grace of a natural athlete.” A Washington Post critic was almost as impressed by Glennie’s physical show in concert–which he called the “Evelyn Glennie Workout”–as he was by “the subtle gradations of sound and colour she brings to every phrase.” In addition to the details of her music and instruments, Glennie pays attention to the non-musical details of her shows, performing in colourful, theatrical costumes and with thematically designed sets and lights. Because she feels the music through her feet, she prefers to play barefoot. She says 
 “I can hear through my whole body”
Evelyn is a supporter of the Aberdeenshire language Doric and a campaigner for people with disabilities  for which she says 
‘We need to stop boxing up disabilities and trying to roll out one-fits-all measures for widening access”
Glennie also composed some of the music for the excellent film Sound of Metal directed by Darius Marder. She is a prolific composer for the library music company Audio Network.

Annabeth running the Athena cabin is actually one of the most realistic things about CHB to me because autistic 12 year old girls are another fucking breed. At 12 years old I would wake myself up at 5:50 before making myself a healthy smoothie and scrambled eggs and then leaving for school at 6:50 to be over an hour early and go straight to the library. Can you imagine if I’d had another six kids under my command? No wonder they’re winning Capture the Flag so much.

Money Is No Matter Here
List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter. I think I’d start off by not working at all. Just spend the days doing as I please. I could create so much art, read so many books… Eventually I would grow restless, and then I would go outside on adventures. Road trips. Travel abroad. I’m not sure of any jobs where money is no issue- good pay or bad pay, there’re qualifications…
