Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth Copeland

About

**The revered singer and composer shares album Laughter in Summer, a love letter of memory, grief and joy, created with his wife and artistic partner Elizabeth.** From the moment we are born, we begin the long walk home. Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Elizabeth started down the path together nearly half a century ago, and have been trailing it since, hand in hand and song by song. Together, they’ve made a life sharing their hearts through art and community, encouraging us all to take our own dance down the road with elemental love and grace. Now, as Glenn lives with a form of dementia known as LATE, their walk has taken on a different weight. Out of this season comes Laughter in Summer, an album the couple made together – a tender ledger of memories, shared devotion, grief and joy. Growing out of a friendship and partnership rooted in music and spirituality, their romance only emboldened their shared vocation to make art in service of community. Laughter in Summer marks a return to the collaborative spirit that first bound Elizabeth and Glenn together all those decades ago. Now, Elizabeth has taken her place as producer of Glenn’s work, shaping Laughter in Summer alongside their music director, Alex Samaras. Each track was recorded in a single take with a choir of Canadian voices, creating a work that recalls their shared history and communicates the enduring power of love. *The ticket price includes a £2 venue restoration levy.*
