Candlelight: Tribute to Leonard Cohen
Southwark Cathedral, London Bridge
4.5/5
About 73 reviews on Fever
The City String Ensemble plays Leonard Cohen, from Suzanne to Hallelujah, for 60 minutes by candlelight in Southwark Cathedral. Three evenings at 21:00 to 13 March 2027, from 20.48 pounds with fees.
Leonard Cohen's songs were close to hymns already, which makes a cathedral a natural home for them. Fever's programme for this tribute has 14 pieces covering almost fifty years. Suzanne, Sisters Of Mercy, So Long, Marianne and Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye come from his first album, Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967), according to Wikipedia. Chelsea Hotel is from New Skin for the Old Ceremony (1974), Everybody Knows from I'm Your Man, Anthem from The Future (1992), and Treaty from You Want It Darker, released in October 2016, 17 days before he died. The evening ends with Hallelujah, first released on Various Positions in 1984.
The City String Ensemble plays it as a quartet. Without Cohen's low voice the melodies come forward, and the slow tempos suit a cathedral nave. It is rated 4.5 from 73 reviews on Fever on 30 October 2026, and Fever says the concert is a tribute, not affiliated with or endorsed by the artist or his estate.
All three dates, 28 November 2026, 2 January 2027 and 13 March 2027, start at 21:00, so this is a show for after dinner, and it ends at about 22:00. Prices fall with each date: Zone B is 53.55 pounds in November, 47.78 in January and 40.42 in March, and Premium is already sold out for 28 November. Southwark Cathedral, a Gothic church built between 1220 and 1420, is about 100 metres from London Bridge station, and Shangri-La The Shard, London is a 5-minute walk.
