Travelling Light weaves together Cohen’s most beloved songs with rare anecdotes, literary excerpts and reflections on his remarkable life. Audiences can expect timeless works including Suzanne, So Long, Marianne, Famous Blue Raincoat, Who By Fire and Tower of Song, alongside poignant material from his final masterpiece, You Want It Darker, released shortly before Cohen’s death in 2016.

Their rich, expressive performance captures both the gravitas and humanity of Cohen’s work. This is more than a tribute concert — it is an immersive exploration of love, faith, longing, irony and beauty through the words and music of a true literary icon. For devoted Cohen admirers and discerning music lovers alike, Travelling Light promises an evening of rare depth, intimacy and resonance.
