A gathering of artists, educators and cultural leaders
Led by Dame Evelyn Glennie and featuring musicians from City Lit’s Percussion Orchestra, this by-invitation-only immersive event places listening at the centre of the room — literally. The Evelyn Glennie Foundation is inviting partners, artists, educators and cultural leaders to explore listening as a shared, multi-sensory practice, and to encounter sound through movement, breath and presence.
What to expect
This intimate experience unfolds in two parts: a guided in‑the‑round session with Dame Evelyn Glennie, and a performance from City Lit’s Percussion Orchestra. Together, these moments invite you to explore listening in multiple dimensions — through resonance, vibration, silence, movement and collective attention. Expect a calm, reflective atmosphere where you can tune in with your whole body and discover new ways of experiencing sound.
Who’s invited?
The Evelyn Glennie Foundation is welcoming partners, artists, educators, community practitioners and cultural leaders whose work connects with our mission to teach the world to listen. This gathering is designed for people exploring sound, learning, accessibility, social connection or creative practice — and who are curious about how listening can shape their work.
How do I get an invite?
This is a small, invitation‑only event to ensure an intimate, participatory environment. If your work aligns with the Foundation’s mission — or if you’re interested in future collaborations — we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch with The Evelyn Glennie Foundation to enquire about attending this or a future in‑the‑round listening experience.
