We are people inspired by Cohen!

The mandate of our festival is to help people discover (and rediscover) the joys of Leonard Cohen’s poetry and music through performances by amateur and professionals alike. In addition to performances of Cohen’s songs, we also have a visual arts show featuring art inspired by Cohen’s work, which has varied wildly over the years. We are expanding in 2008 to include open mike sessions for Cohen-based poems and songs.

The 24/7 hospitality suite at the Westin Hotel will be the responsibility of Lila Klassen, but we will need many people to help her with this important job, probably in 6 or 8 hour shifts. Thus far Darlene Nordstrom, Pat Murphy, Karen and Richard Slevinsky, and Jerome and Merle Martin have all agreed to pitch in. If you would like to help with this as a volunteer please contact me with a short description of why you think you would be good at this task or why you want to do it. It is a good thing for couples to do and people with teaching or nursing experience.
