Acerca de este concierto
The San Francisco Leonard Cohen Festival presents an evening of instrumental and vocal interpretations of Cohen’s work through the arrangements of a jazz trio and a choral ensemble.
Originally hailing from Toronto, Canada, John Mackay has had a long career in the music business as an award-winning performer, composer/arranger, and recording artist. John’s latest album, released earlier this year, features his trio performing original, highly energetic jazz arrangements of Leonard Cohen’s music.
Conspiracy of Venus is a San Francisco-based ensemble of treble voices that sings contemporary music by icons of the singer-songwriter tradition, from artists such as Joni Mitchell to PJ Harvey. They also perform music by Duke Ellington, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Tom Waits, and original compositions by their arranger/director, Joyce Todd McBride. For this performance they will present vocal settings of Leonard Cohen classics.

Biografía de Conspiracy of Beards
San Francisco's Conspiracy of Beards is a 30 member male choir that performs dynamic, original, a cappella arrangements of the poetic songs of Leonard Cohen.
Well dressed in suits, ties, and the occasional fedora, the choir brings an energized live choral music experience out of churches and tabernacles and into the taverns, art houses, and theaters of the Bay Area and beyond. Transforming Cohen's lyrics and simple melodies into complex 4- and 5-part harmonies, and with a wide variety of small ensemble and full choir pieces, Conspiracy of Beards achieves a sound that is both robust and tender. Drawing on influences ranging from jazz and gospel to barbershop and doo-wop, the unique arrangements that choir members create capture all of the emotion and humor of Leonard Cohen’s original music and inspire audiences to ponder common human experiences like romance, heartbreak, politics, sex, longing, and spirituality.
Formed in 2003 through the inspiration of the late San Francisco performance artist Peter Kadyk, his brother Patrick Kadyk, along with friend and composer Daryl Henline, gathered a small group of friends to learn and sing a couple of Leonard Cohen songs as a tribute. Since then the choir, still directed by Daryl Henline, has grown to over 30 members.
Conspiracy of Beards has become an integral part of the San Francisco music scene with performances at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, The Jewish Music Festival, Cafe Du Nord, Great American Music Hall, San Francisco City Hall, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, as well as dozens of bars, bookstores, galleries, hospices, and various other community centers. The choir has also been featured on several radio programs including NPR’s "West Coast Live," "The California Report," "Weekend Edition," KQED, KFOG, KPFA, WFMU, and on PBS television.
As a non-profit organization (501c-3) and with a commitment to contributing to civic progress, Conspiracy of Beards also performs in support of many charities, fundraisers, and other non-profits.
