Glenn most recently was awarded with \"CMF Barrier Breaker Award\" at TIFF Festival in recognition of his groundbreaking career that has defied convention, expanded possibilities for trans artists and inspired generations through music, storytelling and creative expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlenn began his musical career in the 1960s when he studied classical singing at Montreal's McGill University and performed at Expo 67. A pair of self-titled, multi-genre albums released in the early '70s showcased his powerful voice and songwriting talent. In 1986, while living in rural Ontario, Glenn taught himself to use digital synthesis and recorded the album that would ultimately alter the entire course of his career. At the time, he self-released \u003cem\u003eKeyboard Fantasies\u003c\/em\u003e via a 200-copy cassette run, selling just a handful while the rest waited in storage. In 2015, a Japanese record collector emailed Glenn about selling the remainder; a new generation had unearthed his art. The music spread globally, and a few years later, in his 70s, Glenn embarked on his first European tour to share his songs with live audiences, a journey captured in Posy Dixon’s 2019 celebrated documentary \u003cem\u003eKeyboard Fantasies\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecent performances include a transportative set at Primavera Sound, as well as a stunning rendition with \u003cstrong\u003eElizabeth\u003c\/strong\u003e of their song “\u003cem\u003eHarbour\u003c\/em\u003e” on Later... with Jools Holland. Glenn and Elizabeth performed across European festivals this summer, including \u003cstrong\u003eHarry Styles\u003c\/strong\u003e’ Meltdown Festival via personal invitation from the artist himself. In 2027 they will perform three nights across Canada, celebrating 40 Years of \u003cem\u003eKeyboard Fantasies: The Music of Beverly Glenn-Copeland\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Transgressive","offers":[{"title":"140g Transparent Colour Vinyl LP","offer_id":59434456645977,"sku":"SDZ-52394","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/KF-FRONT.png?v=1789463259","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/beverly-glenn-copeland-keyboard-fantasies-40th-anniversary-edition","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
