Leonard Cohen: The Poet in the Dark

Experience a musical and narrative journey through Leonard Cohen's remarkable body of work. Music commentator and podcast host Bjørn Zäll guides you through his artistic evolution – from his early, vulnerable folk songs to his later, deeper masterpieces. Along the way, we explore Cohen's distinctive blend of poetry, spirituality and human authenticity.

The evening takes you through how Cohen managed to address themes of love, faith, doubt and humanity's great existential questions. You will experience, among other things:

• Insight into his life and artistic development
• Analysis of central motifs in his texts
• Listening to some of his most iconic songs

Leonard Cohen was a Canadian singer-songwriter, poet and author whose dark voice and poetic expression had great influence on modern songwriting and music culture worldwide. After the lecture, you take with you a deeper understanding of his works – and perhaps also a whole new way of listening to his music.

The bar is open throughout the evening, so you can enjoy wine, beer and snacks before and during the event.
