Perla’s full length tribute concert to her late friend and mentor, Leonard Cohen includes selected songs and personal stories gathered from two decades of touring and recording with one of music’s most prolific visionaries. While she was always a steadfast champion of his music, Cohen’s passing in 2016 reaffirmed Perla’s mission of exposing more of Canada’s poet laureate’s output to a public most familiar with well-covered, Hallelujah. Says Batalla, “Performing this tribute is deeply personal – these songs are part of my fiber, my makeup. They run through my veins.”
Tickets are $35/$30/$25. Call the Theatre Box Office at 310.781.7171. For more information access www.torrancearts.org or www.perla.com/house-of-cohen.
