Evelyn Glennie in Rio

Evelyn Glennie is a unique phenomenon. She is profoundly deaf and yet is recognised as one of the world's top percussionists. This programme follows her to Rio de Janeiro in search of new percussion techniques. She learns the samba rhythms and participates in the famous Rio Carnival. Back in the UK, she incorporates the experiences of her trip into her repertoire as she plays two Brazilian pieces, one with the London Symphony Orchestra.
