Beverly Glenn-Copeland Announces Dementia Diagnosis and Final Concert Tour

The pioneering composer and performer will conclude his live performances with shows in Canada and New York, while continuing his creative endeavors.

Beverly Glenn-Copeland, 80, revealed his dementia diagnosis in a video posted to Instagram alongside his wife, Elizabeth.
His final live performances will be in Montreal on September 26, Brooklyn on September 30, and Saugerties, NY on October 5.
Despite the diagnosis, Glenn-Copeland plans to continue creating, including writing a book, adapting a musical, and producing a children's TV show.
Glenn-Copeland's 1986 album 'Keyboard Fantasies' was rediscovered in 2015, leading to a resurgence in his career and a 2019 documentary.
The couple aims to challenge the mainstream image of dementia, focusing on the life and creativity that persists despite the illness.
