 ate Begin: 2009-05-29\nEvent Date End: 2009-05-30\n\nFor four decades\, Le
 onard Cohen has been one of the most important and influential songwriters
  of our time\, a figure whose body of work achieves greater depths of myst
 ery and meaning as time goes on. His songs have set a virtually unmatched 
 standard in their seriousness and range. Sex\, spirituality\, religion\, p
 ower - he has relentlessly examined the largest issues in human lives\, al
 ways with a full appreciation of how elusive answers can be to the vexing 
 questions he raises. But those questions\, and the journey he has traveled
  in seeking to address them\, are the ever-shifting substance of his work\
 , as well as the reasons why his songs never lose their overwhelming emoti
 onal force.  His first album\, Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967)\, announced h
 im as an undeniable major talent. It includes such songs as 'Suzanne\,' 'S
 isters of Mercy\,' 'So Long\, Marianne' and 'Hey\, That's No Way to Say Go
 od\,' all now longstanding classics. If Cohen had never recorded another a
 lbum\, his daunting reputation would have been assured by this one alone. 
   However\, the two extraordinary albums that followed\, Songs From a Room
  (1969)\, which includes his classic song\, 'Bird on the Wire\,' and Songs
  of Love and Hate (1971)\, provided whatever proof anyone may have require
 d that that the greatness of his debut was not a fluke. (All three albums 
 are reissued in April\, 2007.)  Cohen has released Ten New Songs (2001) an
 d Dear Heather (2004)\, as well as Blue Alert (2006)\, a collaboration on 
 which Cohen produced and co-wrote songs with his former background singer 
 Anjani Thomas\, who provides the vocals. All three albums have only solidi
 fied his place in the pantheon of contemporary songwriters. At 72\, Cohen 
 continues to produce compelling work\, while enjoying the honors that dese
 rvedly come to artists who have achieved his legendary status. Documentari
 es\, awards\, tribute albums and the ongoing march of artists eager to rec
 ord his songs all acknowledge the peerless contribution Cohen has made to 
 what one of his titles aptly calls 'The Tower of Song'.\n\nStart time: 8:0
