For the first time in Ottawa, we are thrilled to present a concert by Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Copeland on Friday, December 5, 2025 at the Bronson Centre. Opening the show will be singer-songwriter Izzy Rose.
The eclectic works of Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Copeland root deeply into the interconnectedness of human beings. Glenn; the Philadelphia-born singer, songwriter and composer, and Elizabeth; the Canadian-born author, theatre artist and educator have been creative collaborators for more than four decades. Drawing a myriad of musical practices toward a single, luminous conviction: that music can shake us loose from the disconnect that closes us off from one another. Their multifaceted body of work surrenders to the beauty, pain and great capacity for healing that courses through life in all its forms. In its unguarded sincerity, their work invites you to share in its courage. To imagine a new world of community and connection.
Glenn’s latest album, The One Ahead — his first collection of new music in nearly two decades — deepens these explorations, casting searching light into how all of us must dissolve the harms of this world and carry each other forward into the next. It has a funky, energetic sound. There are songs about love, past and present: “Prince Caspian’s Dream” revisits a love from half a century ago, and “Harbour” expresses Glenn’s gratitude to Elizabeth for the care that sustains him. It's another high point in a career that has defied categorisation and included collaborations with world-renown artists like Bon Iver and Sam Smith.
Elizabeth’s creative works have evolved at the intersection of arts and activism. Her early years saw her touring with Second City, and performing as the ‘Witch’ in Hansel and Gretl with the Honolulu Symphony. Her seminal book, Jazz: Nature’s Improvisation was shortlisted for a ReLit Award, and her book of eco-poetry, Daring to Hope at the Cliff’s Edge evolved out of a year-long residency at the Joggins Fossil Institute: a UNESCO world heritage site on the mighty Bay of Fundy.
Together, in this new interactive and heartwarming performance Glenn and Elizabeth invite us into their extraordinary artistic landscape through an evening of song, community and shared joy. Where the music reminds us of our collective power and strength, and gives us nourishment to carry on, together.
