Staying within the music theme, the Landmark Festival of Choirs will take place the following day (March 12) which will involve the centre's three resident choirs; Landmark Singers, Landmark Sound and Mansong.

The trio are set to join forces with two invited choirs for an evening that promises  a wide variety of music encompassing traditional folk songs, world music, jazz and pop.

Enigmatic, mysterious and sub textural, songwriter Leonard Cohen was an unflinching character, with an exact sense of prose, wry humour and the courage to wrestle with the unspoken, forgiving human frailty and indulgence with the stroke of each word.

The chilling announcement of Leonard's death marked the end of an era. His music befriended an entire generation. Within every line of his writing, he challenged audiences to listen more carefully, speak more thoughtfully, think more deeply and recognise our own vulnerability.

With a lifetime reputation of performing in this exact way and an undying love of the 'pure song', Keith James presents Keith James in concert – The Songs of Leonard Cohen March 23rd.
