I denne uge starter OL i Paris, og i den anledning har vi selvfølgelig lavet et afsnit der hylder verdens største sportsbegivenhed og ikke mindst musikken der er forbundet med den. Siden 1896 har de Olympiske Lege været et kæmpe tilløbsstykke, og i år er det så igen blevet den franske hovedstads tur til at lege værter. Vi har fundet vores guldmedaljer frem, og i dette afsnit går vi i dybden med en lang række af både officielle og uofficielle sange som er skrevet til OL. De fleste er fra starten af 80'erne og frem, og selvom der måske ikke findes flere 100 temaer, så kan vi godt love at de bliver fremført af nogle af de største kunstnere i musikhistorien. I kan bl.a. se frem til olympiske perler fra bl.a. Whitney Houston, Katy Perry, Muse, Celine Dion, Underworld, Gloria Estefan og selvfølgelig en legendarisk duet med Freddie Mercury og Montserrat Caballé Desuden bliver det også til lidt sportssnak om Håndboldpigerne, Ben Johnson, Brian Nielsen, Jackie Joyner-Kercee, Jesper Bank, 49'er både og golfbaner på Sydsjælland, og derudover vender vi også Ivan Pedersen, Dolph Lundgren og Mr. Bean, vi prøver at regne ud hvor gammel Avril Lavigne var i 1996, Andy Tennant viser sin store viden om den romerske filosof Seneca, vi tryllebindes fuldstændig af åbningsceremonien fra OL i London i 2012, og så morer vi os over, at man i disse dage kan besøge den danske pavillon i Paris og lege med Lego og få gratis Sun Lolly'er.

Suzie Explores is a podcast series focussing on the nature of creativity and curiosity. Bringing her unique perspective of the world of music and beyond, Suzie joins forces with a host of luminaries in the creative field to explore what it means to be an inspired human being in this world. My guest today is the world-renowned percussionist, Dame Evelyn Glennie. Our conversation delved into what it feels like to nurture curiosity and find it within, and how important it is to have a life journey which is not straightforward or smooth or easy, and how that actually feeds our creative process. My favourite phrase that Evelyn coined in our discussion was when she described looking out of her window at home as ‘a fleeting moment of wonderment.' https://www.evelyn.co.uk/

Synopsis One today's date in 2004, a new concerto for marimba and orchestra had its premiere in San Francisco, with soloist Matthew Cannon and the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra. The new concerto was written by Alexis Alrich, who studied composition out East at the New England Conservatory, and out West at Mills College, where one of her teachers was Lou Harrison, who introduced her to Asian music through Javanese gamelan. Her own music, she says, blends American minimalism, Asian music, and Western classical and folk music, a mix some have described as “California impressionism.” “[My] Marimba Concerto,” says Alrich, “is highly demanding for the soloist and fully exploits the technical possibilities and sound palette of the five-octave marimba. The opening movement with its string tremolos and whispering wind motifs provides an atmospheric entrance for the solo marimba … The middle movement starts with a gently pulsating theme that recurs between contrasting sections, including one in Mexican folk style. The final movement climaxes with a multi-layered, Asian-inspired chorale … with a toccata-style cadenza for the soloist.” In 2010 British percussion virtuoso Dame Evelyn Glennie and City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong gave the Asian premiere of the concerto and made its first recording.

In this episode of From My Angle, Dave Monaco talks to Dame Evelyn Glennie about the power of listening.

There is so much more to music than sound. There's the emotion you feel when you hear your favourite song, the intensity of watching a live performance, and the vibrations of the beat that thump through your chest. As our guest Dame Evelyn Glennie puts it, our bodies are resonating chambers. Dame Evelyn is an award-winning, deaf, multi percussionist. Though she might not hear sound in the typical sense, she can hear the rhythm, the beat and the emotion through other parts of her body. For a fascinating new perspective on the power of music, and plenty of tips for your writing, this episode has you covered.

Dame Evelyn Glennie is on a quest to teach the world to listen, to themselves and to each other.  Evelyn is an internationally renowned percussionist, remarkably despite being deaf since age 12. She shares the story of an encouraging music teacher, who suggested she remove her hearing aids to listen better. Learn about Evelyn's ability to listen with the whole body, and hear her expert insights on conductors and acoustics. Oscar and Evelyn speak about listening to silence the unsaid, and even a silent piece of music. Evelyn advocates that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance can listen.

The 21st episode of AIR is here, and this time I travelled to Huntingdon, England to speak with Scottish percussionist and musician Dame Evelyn Glennie.

Michael Daugherty is one of today’s leading American composers. Previous Naxos recordings of his works have received no fewer than seven GRAMMY® awards. His latest release features three recently completed concertos, respectively for flute, tuba and percussion. The programme boasts a rare line-up of female soloists and a release date that coincides with Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day (March 8). Trail of Tears describes the five-month forced march of the Cherokee in 1838-39 with flautist Amy Porter as soloist; Dreamachine pays tribute to the imagination of inventors and their real or surreal machines and features world-renowned percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie; while Reflections on the Mississippi evokes memories of family excursions and presents soloist Carol Jantch, principal tuba of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the first female to hold such a prestigious orchestral position.

Dame Evelyn Glennie tells presenters Aasmah Mir and Rev Richard Coles about her mission to find new ways to help people really listen. She blazed a trail as the world's first professional solo percussionist, having become profoundly deaf at the age of 12. When she's not touring internationally, there's little she likes better than getting out her trusty metal detector and going searching for buried treasure. Max Beesley was no stranger to showbiz glamour even before he became a TV star, having played drums onstage with Robbie Williams, Stevie Wonder and The Jam. But he was inspired by Robert De Niro to make the switch to acting. He's starred in series like Suits and Hotel Babylon, and is back on screen playing the rugged Harry Sharrow in the second series of Jamestown - which has been described as a Jacobean western. Jordanian-Irish singer songwriter Keeva explains how she copes with anxiety and depression while putting her life into song and performing on stage. She also pulls pints in a bar, and draws artistic inspiration from her customers' personal dramas. Have a listen to see if you recognise yourself. Storyteller Matt Hopwood shares love stories he gathered while walking from Lindisfarne in Northumberland to Callanish on the Isle of Lewis. During his 500 mile journey across Scotland, Matt relied on the kindness of strangers for food and shelter. His mission was to listen, and the tales he heard of love for partner, friend, family and place are collected in his book, A Human Love Story - Journeys to the Heart. We also hear Martin McCutcheon's Inheritance Tracks, and take a icy dip with some chilly open water swimmers at Bardowie. Presenters: Aasmah Mir & Rev Richard Coles Producer: Paul Waters.

Internationally renowned percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie's rather surprising choice of a good read is Napoleon Hill's best-selling self-improvement book 'Think and Grow Rich' . First published in 1937, it's a classic of the genre and still has wide appeal to the book-buying public. Sarah Churchwell is a journalist and academic, Professor of American Literature at the University of East Anglia. She recommends Henry James' classic 'The Ambassadors'. A darkly comic story about the seductive charms of Europe and learning to 'live all you can', it's one of James' best-loved novels. Harriett's choice is 'Curious' by the comic actress Rebecca Front. It's a collection of beautifully-observed stories about life's absurdities, funny, thoughtful and touching. Producer...Mary Ward-Lowery.

A Musician, a Poet and a Quaker share their listening experiences; discuss the difference between hearing and listening and reveal how listening is more than just an aural experience; it’s something much deeper motivating their work and their lives. The musician is Dame Evelyn Glennie, whose vision is to teach the world to listen by encouraging everyone to discover new ways of listening. As a result of hearing problems when she was a child, Evelyn learned to ‘feel ‘ sounds, not just hear them. Using different instruments she demonstrates how sounds and reverberations can affect us; emotionally and physically. Katrina Porteus’s earliest memory is the sound of a blackbird singing whilst she was in her pram. Since then listening has had a huge influence on her work as a poet; much of her work is about the fishing communities and landscape of County Durham and Northumberland. Like Evelyn, Katrina feels sounds; they are “the heartbeat of a place”. On the written page, there is silence between the words of a poem. “If we get it right we can find silence where we can really listen” says Hermione Legg, who has been a Quaker since she was child and regularly attends meetings which are opportunities for a community to come together in worship. There is no creed and much of the meeting is silent. The silence offers an opportunity to listen. Listening is also about communication. “If I’m listened to, I feel I have worth” says Hermione “Why speak if no one’s going to listen … Life would have no meaning without us listening.” Producer Sarah Blunt.

One of the world's greatest percussionists, Dame Evelyn Glennie, on how to listen, her project commissioning new music for percussionists, and performing a world premiere for a new instrument, the Aluphone, at the 2015 Proms as part of her 50th birthday celebrations.

Evelyn Glennie lost her hearing by the age of 12, but that didn’t stop her from becoming a percussion virtuoso, a three-time Grammy winner, and a Dame Commander of the British Empire. In this Composer Quest interview, she shares some really interesting ideas about dynamics and writing for percussion. We also talk about her collaborations with Björk, composer John Corigliano, and guitarist and improviser Fred Frith.

IAyumi Hamasake, Donna Williams, Evelyn Glennie, Liyana with Prudence Mabhena, Mandy Harvey and The Great Britain Paraorchestra. Donna Williams is autistic and darn proud of it.  Artistic ability exudes from her pores.   We play her song,  “All Be Happy; A Gothic Autism Story.”   Donna's ground-breaking books, Nobody, Nowhere and Somebody Somewhere were among the first attempts by autistic people to put words to their own experience.  She's also an accomplished artist and teacher. Three-time Grammy Award winner, Dame Evelyn Glennie lives with profound deafness.  She is the first person in musical history to successfully create and sustain a full-time career as a solo percussionist.  We play her horsing around with Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street. Prudence Mabhena is the lead vocalist for Liyana, a Zimbabwe band entirely made of people with disabilities.  She lives with arthrogryphosis and uses a wheel chair.  Her personal story, Music by Prudence, was made into an Oscar-winning film.  We play Liyana's song, Sugar Rhythms. In 2008, Ayumi Hamasaki, the Japanese Princess of Pop announced that she had lost her hearing in her left ear.  She had been diagnosed with Ménière's Disease in 2006.  We play her untitled song, called simply, for her, which she wrote after finding out that a close friend had died suddenly.  The lyrics talk about a long road traveled alone. Mandy Harvey entered the Music Education program at Colorado State University. During her freshman year she lost her hearing and left the university.  Though her hearing loss is profound (110 decibels in each ear) her timing, pitch and passion are perfect.  We play the title song of her first album, the jazz classic Smile. Last but not least, the Great Britain Paraorchestra, the world's first professional ensemble for disabled musicians.  This 26 piece orchestra was founded in 2012.  One of their aims is, “To increase the profile and visibility of disabled musicians on the world stage.” We join them in that effort. This program produced and hosted by Shelley Berman.
