That's How the Light Gets In - The Music of Leonard Cohen
Imperfect Offering’s nine-piece band honours Leonard Cohen in a concert commemorating his enduring spirit and featuring his beloved songs and poetry. This 10th anniversary series promises a rich, uplifting, sell-out experience.
Acclaimed nine-piece band Imperfect Offering presents That's How the Light Gets In — a concert commemorating the enduring spirit of Leonard Cohen. The performance includes many of Cohen's most loved songs - "Suzanne", "Hallelujah", "First We Take Manhattan", "Bird on the Wire", "Dance Me to the End of Love", "If It Be Your Will", and "Anthem" -
Ring the bells that still can ring / Forget your perfect offering / There is a crack in everything / That's how the light gets in.
Imperfect Offering has been performing around Aotearoa since 2016 to sell-out audiences and the warmest praise - "you guys are better than the original!" "the best night of music I've been to in many many years" "a profound experience".
This August, they commemorate ten years since Cohen's death and invite you into a rich experience of the man, his poetry and his music, where your heart will be warmed, your soul nourished and you will come away inspired.
