Songs for Suzanne - The music and poetry of Leonard Cohen

  • Minerva Ballaarat 117-119 Sturt Street Ballarat Central, VIC, 3350 Australia (map)

The fascinatingly enigmatic Leonard Cohen’s first clutch of classic albums saw him become one of the leading proponents of folk.

Songs for Suzanne will be a celebration of the beginnings of a distinguished career of a brilliant singer-songwriter. Alongside standards including “Bird On A Wire”, “So Long, Marianne”, “Avalanche”, “Hallelujah”, and “Famous Blue Raincoat”, will feature many songs never performed by the man himself on his Australian tours.

This show will see dazzling renditions of songs from those early albums by country outlaw Henry Wagons, Melbourne icon Rebecca Barnard, the shape-shifting post-colonialist Delsinki, and the incredible talent Alma Zygier and Jacinta Caruana, will consist of mesmerising finger-plucked guitar strings provided by Ben Dix and Dan McKay and the haunting violin of Xani Kolac.
