Overview

This DVD captures Dame Evelyn Glennie, a pioneering figure in solo percussion performance, leading a masterclass at the Royal Northern College of Music. Renowned worldwide for her unparalleled career as a solo percussionist, Glennie has performed with celebrated artists including Björk, Sting, and Emmanuel Ax, and has collaborated on over 150 compositions written specifically for her.

In this masterclass, Glennie works closely with students, dissecting and interpreting two demanding twentieth-century percussion pieces: Minoru Miki’s Marimba Spiritual, known for its complex rhythms and intensity, and Anders Koppel's Toccata for Marimba and Vibraphone, a duet that explores both melody and resonance in percussion. Through detailed guidance, Glennie demonstrates her teaching philosophy, encouraging each student to engage deeply with their instrument and the music. Her masterclass goes beyond technique, inviting viewers to experience the art of percussion as a form of powerful communication.

 

Evelyn Glennie is without question the best known solo percussion player in the world. She gives more than 100 performances a year worldwide, performing with the greatest conductors, orchestras, and artists. Her diversity of collaborations have included performances artists such as Bjork, Bobby McFerrin, Sting, Emmanuel Ax, Kings Singers and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Fred Frith. She has commissioned one hundred and fifty new works for solo percussion from many of the world's most eminent composers and records music for film and television. Her first quality drama score was nominated for a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award. Evelyn Glennie's First CD, Bartok's Sonata for two pianos and Percussion, won her Grammy in 1988. A further two nominations followed, one of which she won for a collaboration with Bela Fleck. She has released 25 CDs. After 20 years of performance she frequently gives masterclasses and has recently begun teaching privately. In this masterclass she works on two twentieth century percussion compositions: Minoru Miki's "Marimba Spiritual" and Anders Koppel's "Toccata for Marimba and Vibraphone".
