“Evelyn Glennie Listens to Sound without Hearing It” throws light on the life of famous Scottish multi-percussionist, Evelyn Glennie and the struggles she faced to become a successful musician. She is a talented performer who knows how to play several instruments perfectly. It is interesting to note that although she is completely deaf, she has an extraordinary ability to sense music through her body rather than her ears. Evelyn was not born deaf, but she lost her hearing ability by the time she was eleven years old. Whilst she faced difficulty in hearing, that did not bog down her determination to pursue music.

Evelyn was more keen to learn the xylophone at school when percussionist Ron Forbes recognised her potential. He encouraged her to sense the music through her body, instead of her ears. After that, there was no looking back! Evelyn continued to scale newer heights ever since and when she auditioned at the Royal Academy of Music, she scored one of the highest marks in the history of the music academy. She received several laurels, accolades and awards for her extraordinaire par excellence performances on the global platform. In 1991, the Royal Philharmonic Society honoured her with the prestigious ‘Soloist of the Year Award’. Ann Richlin of the Beethoven Fund for Deaf Children stated that Evelyn is a beaming inspiration to the specially-abled people. Thus, Evelyn Glennie continues to set an example by motivating everyone around her with her determination and delights millions of people with her outstanding performances.
