Beverly Glenn-Copeland is a Canadian composer, singer and pianist whose career spans several decades, although his international recognition has experienced more recent growth. Born in 1944, he studied classical music and immersed himself in various genres, from jazz to folk, before turning to electronic explorations. His most emblematic work, "Keyboard Fantasies", initially self-produced on cassette in 1986, has become a cult classic in ambient and electronic music, rediscovered by a new generation of listeners. This album, characterized by its ethereal synthetic melodies and soothing vocals, marked a turning point in his career, placing him as a precursor.

His musical style is difficult to categorize, fluently navigating between meditative electronic soundscapes, introspective folk touches and elements of spiritual jazz. Glenn-Copeland is also recognized for his commitment to the LGBTQ+ community and his life philosophy imbued with spirituality and connection to nature, themes that often permeate his compositions. His music is an invitation to introspection, a sonic journey that combines melodic simplicity with emotional depth, often carried by his distinctive voice and delicate arrangements.

On stage, Beverly Glenn-Copeland is renowned for the intimate and enveloping atmosphere he creates. His performances are often moments of grace, where the artist shares not only his music, but also a part of his soul, establishing a deep connection with his audience. Expect an immersive experience, where sound textures unfold with slowness and intention, inviting contemplation. This performance in Paris, in the unique architectural framework of the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, promises to be a privileged moment, offering an ideal setting to the resonance of his work.
