Celebrate the timeless music and poetry of Leonard Cohen with a special tribute performance by members of one of Colorado’s most acclaimed Celtic folk bands, Avourneen. This memorable evening will feature songs spanning Cohen’s remarkable career, from his 1967 debut Songs of Leonard Cohen to selections from his final posthumous release, Thanks for the Dance. Audiences can expect moving renditions of beloved classics including “Hallelujah,” “So Long, Marianne,” “Sisters of Mercy,” and “I’m Your Man,” alongside readings and reflections that honor Cohen’s extraordinary legacy as a songwriter, poet, and novelist. For this special performance, Avourneen expands its lineup with drummer Christopher Rose, cellist Katie Burns and pianist Amy Young to create a rich, immersive concert experience. Known for sold-out tribute shows celebrating artists such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan, the band brings its signature musicianship and heartfelt storytelling to Cohen’s iconic catalog.
