鈥淭HERE IS A CRACK, A CRACK IN EVERYTHING. THAT'S HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN鈥�
It is perhaps a cruel coincidence that Leonard Cohen died the day before Donald Trump was elected to America鈥檚 highest office. Cohen鈥檚 music, poetry, and protest songs captured elements of a universal human experience, cherishing the very perfection of our imperfections. Steeped in social commentary and piercing insights, his words and music weave a common thread through disparate human experiences and shine a light on our commonalities. Toronto鈥檚 Art of Time Ensemble has gathered a group of artists鈥攕ingers, musicians, and authors鈥攚ith a profound love and respect for Leonard Cohen鈥檚 work, to pay tribute to his legacy. Performances of Cohen鈥檚 music by singers Steven Page, Sarah Slean, Tom Wilson, and Gregory Hoskins, are presented in special arrangements for the Ensemble and paired with commentary, anecdotes, and readings by a selection of top Canadian writers.
