About Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Copeland, featuring F*Choir
Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Copeland return to London for one night only, featuring F*Choir.
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.
The show will feature F*Choir, a 70-strong, queer-led ensemble that radically reimagines what choral singing can be - bold, high-energy, full-body music that celebrates collective liberation, joy, and embodied resistance.
