Making sure my travelling partner has water for our journey to Bristol as we prepare for our fundraising Listen In event at St George's Bristol tomorrow with The Bristol Ensemble. ID: a colour photo of sculptural double bowled waterphone rests on a car set, with a plastic water bottle.

The Giant Cymbal, created by Steve Hubback, in action! Please enjoy this brief clip as I explore sonic possibilities using some home-made Super Ball mallets, with the cymbal placed on top of a large timpani. You can find a longer video here: bit.ly/4fpOQ33 I hope you are as enthralled as I am.

Are you curious to experience the sound of this extraordinary sculptural cymbal? Visit my socials on Thursday! Image description: A colour photo of Evelyn and a huge sculptural cymbal - detailed version in Alt text.

What a fun afternoon I had yesterday, welcoming two of the lovely @qi.com Elves for a dig around #TheEvelynGlennieCollection! Watch this space… I wonder what they unearthed…

Our volunteer Penelope has uncovered the stories behind the music in The Evelyn Glennie Collection. Can you help us preserve this legacy? We’re looking for volunteers! Link: bit.ly/4lNe79E Image descriptions included as Alt text.

Resonate 2 for Spitfire is being forged. How many microphones does it take to capture the magic of my teeny tiny music box on the timpani? We are being curious! Photo Description in alt text.

Many weird and wonderful instruments from my Sound Forge, now transported to London for the creation of Resonate 2 with Spitfire. A week of unearthing, sculpting and forging sounds in unlikely ways!

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes many of you have sent! I had such a wonderful birthday gathering on Saturday, with good friends, delicious food and the most stunning (and tasty!) cake. Although I can’t share a slice with all of you, I thought you might appreciate a couple of photos…

World Listening Day is on 18th July, a celebration of the power of listening, both to people and to our surroundings. We’ve created 3 simple exercises to help you explore your sound environment—on your own, with others, or in your community. Read the full blog: bit.ly/46Orvpg

Rudiments are fundamental in drumming, and also make striking artwork!

Here is a brief clip, from a much longer video, of my recent sound exploration using boomwhackers! View the full length version on my YouTube channel: bit.ly/4epq6Hx #Boomwhackers #Improvisation #Composer #Percussion #EvelynGlennie #DameEvelynGlennie

What if sound wasn’t just something you heard, but something you felt, moved through, and lived? It's a question we asked ourselves on a visit to Feel the Sound at @BarbicanCentre, On until 31 August. Go feel it. #FeelTheSound #TeachTheWorldToListen

Hello everybody. A few years ago, I co-composed with Mark Knopfler the film score for Altamira, and it was a wonderful opportunity to feature the very quiet playing on marimba with Marks incredible melodic guitar playing. It was quite a fascinating project.

A little unexpected package leapt through the post box this morning. So are you in a... ...good mood? Or are you in a... ...grumpy mood? I think I’m in a good mood!

In clip 2 of our series, Babs explores a frame drum like a map: tracing routes, naming places, finding meaning. Discover the project & partner with us: 🔗 www.evelynglennie.foundation/stories/a-li... #ListeningPresence #DementiaCare #EvelynGlennieFoundation

So happy it’s raining today as it’s great for the garden! My flowers are now in full bloom… Image description: Evelyn, crouched in front of some green bushes, smiling as she holds a picture she painted yesterday evening, of a colourful meadow of flowers.

Tomorrow, Friday 6th June, sees the release of a new recording called Crossed Echoes. This is my 2nd album collaborating with the incredibly talented Michael A Levine for Audio Network. #EvelynGlennie #MichaelALevine #CrossedEchoes #NewAlbum #AlbumRelease #AudioNetwork

What does it mean to really listen? At @evelynglenniefd.bsky.social, we contributed to #FeelTheSound exhibition at @barbicancentre.bsky.social - an immersive journey into sound, perception & connection. Open until 31 Aug 2025, this exhibition speaks to our mission: #TeachTheWorldToListen.

Celebrate Deaf Awareness Week with our founder Dame Evelyn Glennie, who is profoundly deaf herself. “Beyond Silence" shows us that deafness is a unique perspective, not a limitation. Let's feel, sense, and interpret sound in new ways. #DeafAwarenessWeek #BeyondSilence #TheEvelynGlennieFoundation

A little collection of clappery-clackety instruments from around the world. Can you tell me how many instruments are in the copper bowl, and do you know their names?

In the first of a series, watch Dame Evelyn Glennie bring her unique listening presence to Babs, a woman living with dementia. We believe in the transformative power of real listening. Discover more: bit.ly/42WZZCy #TeachTheWorldToListen #DementiaCare #Partnerships

1/2 "I quickly realized that in order to create the sound I was after, I had to forget about the instrument itself. I couldn’t just think of myself as a person playing a xylophone; I had to morph into a musician and sound creator, transcending the limitations of the instrument in my hands."

True listening goes beyond sound. Sign language teaches us to see, respect, and value diverse ways of connecting. This Sign Language Week, let’s listen with our eyes, hearts, and minds. Because every gesture holds meaning. #TeachTheWorldToListen #SLW2025 #MoreThanALanguage

This BBC article highlights how noise pollution harms our well-being — from stress to disrupted sleep and worse. Our mission? Teach the World to Listen. Turn down the noise and turn up the art of listening to reduce stress, create harmony, and rediscover beauty #TeachTheWorldToListen

Over the years I have collected a small variety of Tingshas, but these Nepalese gems, made from recycled singing bowls, give a much richer, deeper, thicker texture to the sound, and are a valuable addition to The Evelyn Glennie Collection. I particularly love the little embroidered protective cases.

Another inspiring visit from Natalie and Paul of Palm and Bowl, as I am introduced to a Stand-in singing bowl. This really needs to be experienced. It truly brought a new dimension to what it means to ‘Touch the Sound’.

Next week we launch our new website - our chance to introduce our mission and work to the wider world. Now, more than ever, we must push for a world where the value of listening is fully appreciated and recognised. Are you ready to be part of our journey? #TeachTheWorldToListen

1/4 Following on from previous posts, here is another clip from my read-through of 'Listen: How Evelyn Glennie, A Deaf Girl, Changed Percussion'. I hope you enjoy it.

3/3 Three images feature photographs depicting Dame Evelyn Glennie working with a selection of percussion instruments. One image combines both approaches - a picture of Dame Evelyn, overlaid with text responding to The King's Speech. Each image has its own detailed image description.
