'From marimbas to fire extinguisher, if you can hit it, Evelyn Glennie will - and with compelling musicality. This solo percussion recital is a first for St George's Bristol's Midsummer Music Festival. Always a good idea to start at the top! As well as music by Rzewski and Alvarez expect Tanaka's Two Movements for Marimba, Clapping Music by Steve Reich, and, for a punchy exit, Leight Howard Steven's Rhythmic Caprice.'

The whole world is a drum for master percussionist Evelyn Glennie

A truly unique performer with formidable strength and endurance, inimitable artistry and extraordinary fearlessness, Evelyn Glennie is the embodiment of the instruments she plays, whether marimba, maracas, snare drum, squeaky toy, spinning top or fire extinguisher.

Moving amongst her full battery of exotic percussion with a feral physicality and superhuman precision, she creates dazzlingly dynamic soundscapes: intriguing, inspiring, incredible.

‘Evelyn Glennie is simply a phenomenon of a performer.’ NEW YORK TIMES
