A Night of Leonard Cohen Music

We celebrate a great musical treasure at the anniversary of his passing. Leonard Cohen was a Canadian poet and novelist who abandoned a promising literary career to become one of the foremost songwriters of the contemporary era. As the New York Times has noted: "Over a musical career that spanned nearly five decades, Mr. Cohen wrote songs that addressed — in spare language that could be both oblique and telling — themes of love and faith, despair and exaltation, solitude and connection, war and politics. More than 2,000 recordings of his songs have been made, initially by the folk-pop singers who were his first champions, like Judy Collins and Tim Hardin, and later by performers from across the spectrum of popular music, among them U2, Aretha Franklin, R.E.M., Jeff Buckley, Trisha Yearwood and Elton John."
