with Venus Fest & Burn Down The Capital
Beverly Glenn-Copeland with special guest Elizabeth Copeland
Beverly Glenn‑Copeland takes over Toronto for a transcendent evening of community music.
Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Copeland bring an evening of deep resonance, where music, language, and spirit converge toward healing and connection. Glenn, the visionary singer, songwriter, and composer, alongside Elizabeth, the celebrated author, theatre artist, and educator, in a collaborative performance exploring creativity as a force for collective renewal. Glenn’s The One Ahead, his first new album in nearly two decades, channels joyful gratitude and the unyielding pulse of life. Together, they shape a shared practice of song and story where community itself becomes the art form.
Also performing are Kamra and Topanga Trio.
Kamra, a recording artist and cultural worker of Igbo Nigerian descent based in Yellowknife, NT, constructs electroacoustic environments that reimagine how we listen, move, and relate. Their projects: Activation Residency and Forest Fringe Farm, transform community and land into living frameworks for creative practice.
St. John’s based Topanga Trio is singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Katie Baggs, Carole Bestvater, and Valmy who meld guitar, violin, bass, and piano into radiant, harmony-driven arrangements. Their music embodies the strength of collaboration and the sustaining power of song.
This event is presented in collaboration by Burn Down the Capital, Venus Fest and The Music Gallery.
Event schedule (subject to change):
7:00 pm Kamra
7:45 pm Beverly Glenn-Copeland & Elizabeth Copeland
