Following standing ovations at Canada's International Leonard Cohen Festival, this acclaimed production celebrates the music, poetry and spirit of Leonard Cohen with breathtaking originality. Presented by three-time ARIA Award winners Monsieur Camembert, the concert offers a thrilling and deeply moving reimagining of Cohen’s songs, brought to life with virtuosic musicianship at Newcastle’s Civic Theatre on Saturday, 13 September.
With a powerhouse ten-piece band, a choir and a stellar lineup of guest vocalists - including iOTA, Diana Rouvas, Timothy James Bowen, Sue Carson and Alexi Kaye - this is far from a traditional tribute. Drawing on over three decades of repertoire, the performance is interwoven with Cohen’s poetry and rare audio of the man himself, creating a rich and immersive experience for devoted fans and newcomers alike.
Critically praised for its musical daring and emotional resonance, Monsieur Camembert’s signature fusion of virtuosity and soul are showcased. Expect timeless classics like Suzanne, Bird on a Wire, and Hallelujah transformed with fresh arrangements and unforgettable energy. Don’t miss this adventurous and heartfelt homage to one of the most important voices of our time. For tickets and more information, visit www.civictheatrenewcastle.com.au.
