In the launch event for the Festival of Conversations, Manasamitra presents a unique In Conversation event with Dame Evelyn Glennie, mediated by Supriya Nagarajan, Artistic Director of Manasamitra. The evening will involve a fascinating dialogue exploring the wealth of Evelyn’s experience as the first full-time solo percussionist in the world and her unique approach to sound. The first half of the evening will be a traditional interview and then after an interval we will be inviting members of the audience to put their questions and thoughts to Dame Evelyn.
If you have a group that would be interested in attending and/or would like to put a question to Dame Evelyn, please contact jacqueline@manasamitra.com .
