Answer 2

The Polar Music Prize 2015 is awarded to percussionist Evelyn Glennie from Aberdeen, Scotland. Evelyn Glennie, who has been deaf since the age of twelve, has a mission to teach the world to listen. She has widened our understanding of what music is and shown us that listening is only partly to do with our ears. Everyone, whatever their physical circumstances, can perceive and perform music, can feel and convey good vibrations. We all have our own, individual tone. In her home country of the United Kingdom, she has changed the criteria for acceptance by music schools, has been honoured by the Queen for her efforts and had a key role in the opening of the Olympic Games in London in 2012. As a musician, she is one of very few who have successfully made a career as a solo percussionist. She has played with the world’s foremost orchestras, conductors and artists and has released more than 30 solo albums. Evelyn Glennie shows us that the body is a resonance chamber and that we live in a universe of sound.

Evelyn Glennie was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1965. She went to school at the Ellon Academy and discovered percussion at the age of 12, after having played the piano for a couple of years. Her parents bought her a snare drum and she began to take percussion lessons with teacher Ron Forbes, who taught her timpani.

Young Evelyn started to lose her hearing at the age of 8, but didn’t give up music. Together with her teacher, she realized that if you pay great attention, you can feel sounds in your body as well as hear them through your ears. Forbes adapted his teaching to cope with Glennie’s deteriorating hearing, allowing her to “hear” the tuning by sensing the vibrations in the instruments.This was a huge turning point for Glennie, who then started to seriously aim at being the world’s first solo percussionist.

”I would stand with my hands against the classroom wall while Ron played notes on the timpani. Eventually I managed to distinguish the rough pitch of notes by associating where on my body I felt the sound with the sense of perfect pitch I had before losing my hearing. The low sounds I feel mainly in my legs and feet and high sounds might be particular places on my face, neck and chest.” – Hearing Essay, 2015.
