Evelyn Glennie is a scottish percussionist and composer. She lost nearly all of her hearing by age 12. Rather than isolating her, it has given her a unique connection to her music.
In this soaring demonstration, deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie illustrates how listening to music involves much more than simply letting sound waves hit your eardrums. She leads the audience through an exploration of music not as notes on a page, but as an expression of the human experience. Playing with sensitivity and nuance informed by a soul-deep understanding of and connection to music, she talks about a music that is more than sound waves perceived by the human ear. She illustrates a richer picture that begins with listening to yourself, and includes emotion and intent as well as the complex role of physical spaces — instrument, concert hall and even the bones and body cavities of musician and listener alike.
Recorded February 2003 in Monterey, California. Duration: 32:20

Another great testimony illustrating that hearing loss doesn't imply the loss of musicality! :)
