The world renowned Scottish virtuoso percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie has started a new project to find the sounds of King’s Cross.
The talented musician has recently taken up her new post as King’s Cross Musician in Residence for 2017. She has been profoundly deaf since the age of 12 and says she has taught herself to hear with parts of her body other than her ears. She has not let her disability prevent her from becoming a hugely successful artist.
Titled King’s Cross Sounds, the residency will see her working with the local community to help discover their past, present and imagined future sound of the area. These sounds will be gathered in a webpage and will serve as an inspiration for a final composition and performance at the end of the year.
According to the Dame, the aim is to “build a legacy by all curious about King’s Cross”.
