Video description: Evelyn is reading 'Listen: How Evelyn Glennie, A Deaf Girl, Changed Percussion', looking between the book and us, the audience, as she reads to us in an expressive, animated fashion. Behind her are some blue shelves with an array of percussion instruments. In this clip she reads the following passage:

Evelyn kicked off her shoes, she looked directly into the judge's wide eyes, and she played.

Rat-at-at-at-at.
Tum-tu-tum-tum-tum.
Rat-at-at-at-at.

All her timpani sticks, her marimba mallets bounced, her snare drum sticks danced, everything resonated together!

The sticks, the mallet, the keys, the room... and Evelyn.
