In the Making

Episode 1

Beverly Glenn-Copeland

The remarkable story of seventy-five year old Beverly Glenn-Copeland is one of an artist getting well-deserved acclaim after nearly five decades of obscurity. In 2016, an influential music collector in Japan named Ryota Masuko found a cassette tape of Glenn's 1986, self-released album Keyboard Fantasies, and wrote Glenn an email, asking to purchase the remaining stock of this beautiful electronic music record. This sparked a wave of interest in Glenn's music, and he is now touring the world for the first time with his band of much younger musicians-the generation that, he says, he was writing his music for. Host Sean O'Neill travels with Glenn to Japan, where he finally meets Ryota, who has so influenced the course of his life, and plays an intimate concert for his Japanese fans.
