More From Evelyn Glennie
- "I associate going to an airport with work because I travel so much with my job. So when I have a few days free from work, I tend to stay at home."
- "I walk into a kids’ store, and it’s amazing, the types of instruments – little squeaky things, rattling things, spinning tops."
- "And as I grew older, I then auditioned for the Royal Academy of Music in London, and they said, well, no, we won’t accept you, because we haven’t a clue – you know – of the future of a so-called ‘deaf’ musician. And I just couldn’t quite accept that."
