Beverly Glenn-Copeland
Event Information
About this Event
Musician Beverly Glenn-Copeland presents his first-ever concert in the United States in the VW Dome with his band. Glenn-Copeland is a septuagenarian Black trans man who departed the US for Canada in the early 1960s and has not returned since. His unique musical style is an idiosyncratic mix of ambient electronica, jazz, classical, and psychedelic folk, featured on two renowned self-released albums—an eponymous record from 1970 and Keyboard Fantasies, a cassette released in 1986.
Glenn-Copeland’s US premiere will be accompanied by performances of his music by poet and musician YATTA and screenings of Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story by Posy Dixon and a short documentary by the Canadian Broadcasting Company’s In the Making series. An artist talk precedes the program, moderated by Kyp Malone. Artist talk is free with MoMA PS1 admission.
