The world-renowned Scottish percussionist combines with pianist Philip Smith in a recital that is guaranteed to divert, provoke and entertain. Evelyn Glennie brings irrepressible energy and enthusiasm to a programme that encompasses primitive rhythms and the filigree textures of Vivaldi. There is also a rare opportunity to hear a Waterphone: an instrument described as 'a cascading crystal waterfall of light amidst the songs of a whale.'
