Aberdeenshire born percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie never fails to impress an audience. To celebrate Glennie's 50th birthday, the BBC Proms Chamber Music series fourth concert was a special concert of four pieces written in the last 20 years.

This performance was part of the Cheltenham Music Festival as their nod to Britten in the composer’s special year.
