“Evelyn Glennie is simply a phenomenon of a performer” —New York Times
Grammy-winning percussionist Evelyn Glennie can wrest an expansive orchestral sound out of a single snare drum. A captivating improviser and composer, she has challenged the music world to reimagine the vast possibilities of percussion through her highly communicative music making. Fred Frith—guitarist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, featured with Glennie in the documentary Touch the Sound—joins her for an evening of improvisation on traditional and unconventional instruments.
Generously supported by Bruce and Eleanor Heister.
Cost: $26-50
