The Evelyn Glennie Interview

Aland without music?

Today’s episode of A land without music? is another of our bonus, full length interview episodes. Our guest was the world’s first full-time solo percussionist. She’s released over 40 cds, she's won Grammys and she had a prominent role in the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games.

She’s collaborated with Björk, Mark Knopfler & Underworld. And as far as we know she’s the only person in the overlapping section of the Venn diagram for people who have appeared on A land without music? and people who have appeared on Sesame St.
