SUMMARY:That's How The Light Gets In: A Musical Tribute to Leonard Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of music and connection in honor of Leonard Cohen’s 7th yahrzeit. \nNobel laureate and modern-day prophet Leonard Cohen’s timeless body of work as a songwriter\, performer\, and poet spans more than 50 years and explores religion\, politics\, isolation\, love\, and mortality. His creations delved fearlessly into the essence of human existence\, often doing so through the lens of Jewish history\, texts\, and tradition. \nAs we commemorate his 7th yahrzeit\, join guitarist Dan Nadel\, vocalist Shira Averbuch\, and drummer Satoshi Takeishi for a tribute celebrating Cohen’s life and music. After the concert\, we’ll gather for wine and light snacks. \nWhere: The concert will take place in the Experiential Theater at The Masters School 49 Clinton Ave. Dobbs Ferry NY.
