Reviews
Alan Wilson OBE, Chairman SCDI, Scotland Mar 08 - “Like others, Evelyn Glennie tailored her comments to our theme of Rising to the Challenge. In the arts world just as in the business world, the principles of timing, communication, teamwork and clear goals are vital. She interpreted our challenge in a unique way and she clearly spoke from the heart”.
CEO of the League for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Nashville, TN, Feb 08 - " She is an amazing talent".
Sandy Cohen, Director -
Library Services for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing, Nashville Public Library, Feb 08 - "What an incredible lady you are! And, what a privilege it was for our deaf and hard of hearing students, parents, and teachers to have you speak with them at Career Day this year at the the Nashville Public Library. Your remarks were most eloquent and poignant. And, I was touched that you referred to the program during the Q & A time after your rehearsal today".
Kansascity.com - Mar 08 - "But if Glennie is an adept of all things percussion, she is also an ambassador for education and living composers. Through the evening, she explained the intricacies of a work and her approach to it so that people were enlightened and never felt talked down to".
