Leonard Cohen Honored with Tribute Concert in Shenzhen

Everybody knows, when Leonard Cohen died in late 2016, he left a tower of song as his legacy. For all who noted the famed poet’s passing and thought 'Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye,' this weekend’s Memories of Leonard Cohen: Documentary + Live Concert will let fans breathe a grateful 'Hallelujah.'

OCT’s Idutang hosts the evening of song and cinema, with a screening of I’m Your Man and a roster of talented musicians who will sing like a bird on the wire until closing time.

Whether you’re passing through or a local reflecting on the Canadian legend of letters and thinking 'I can’t forget,' take this waltz with these gifted musicians. 

Organizers request you match Cohen’s signature, dapper style with a dress code of suits, dresses, or formal wear with black, white, purple and/or wine-colored elements. Wear your famous blue raincoat another night; tonight you want it darker.

Reserve by WeChat (Chinese ID: ‘off333,’ English: ‘Cherub_Viola’) for RMB180. Ticket price includes one glass of wine, beer or soft drink, snacks, and a Cohen commemorative gift. 

We’ve seen the future, baby: it is worth it.

Jan 27, 7.30-10.30pm; RMB180. Idutang. See event listing.
