Evelyn Glennie, the most famous percussionist in the world joins the Mobile Symphony in a concert unlike any you've experienced. Scottish percussionist, Evelyn Glennie’s rhythmic virtuosity is as much a joy to watch as it is to hear. Dame Evelyn will be performing Kevin Puts' challenging Percussion Concerto, which was written especially for her. Also at this performance, prepare yourself for the rousing symphonic masterpiece the MSO has never performed at the Saenger Theatre, Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture !!!
