About Beverly Glenn-Copeland with special guest Elizabeth Copeland
Beverly and Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland return to London.
Glenn (as he likes to be called) is a beloved Canadian black, trans elder whose work for most of his life lived in the shadows. Only in the last decade has his work been given the attention it deserves. His discography includes the iconic album, Keyboard Fantasies – inspired by a profound relationship with nature, an obsession with science fiction and some of the earliest drum-machines and synthesizers, It wasn’t until 2016, when Keyboard Fantasies was discovered by a revered Japanese record-store owner, that the magnitude of Glenn’s musical gifts to us all was ‘discovered’. Glenn was given an honourary doctorate by the University of Toronto for not only his musical legacy, but for his ‘resolute advocacy on behalf of black, Indigenous and queer culture’. His 2023 release, The Ones Ahead is another high point in a career that has defied categorisation.
