Join Grammy-award winning percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie as she works with percussionists from the Empire State Youth Orchestra in a masterclass setting. Watch, listen, and learn as these young percussionists showcase their talent to Dame Evelyn, receive miniature lessons, and go past the “notes and rhythms” of their works to investigate the complexities of phrasing, musicality, and performance.
