Experience Leonard Cohen's poetic world live in Bonn
On November 6, 2026, the Rüngsdorfer Kulturbad invites you to a special tribute evening: “I Love To Speak With Leonard” is dedicated to the life, poetry, and songs of Leonard Cohen. Julia van Embers, Jonathan Binhack, and Jonas Noack will engage in a creative dialogue with the work of the great poet and songwriter.
Intimate soundscapes between voice and strings
At the center of the concert are Cohen's songs in a concentrated, chamber music formation. Vocals and guitars meet double bass, mandolin, and other accompanying instruments. The reduced orchestration creates space for the characteristic sound of Cohen's compositions: warm, melancholic, precise, and full of nuances.
From “Suzanne” to “I’m Leaving the Table”
The program spans a bridge from the first to the last album. In addition to well-known songs like “Suzanne” and “Hallelujah,” less noted pieces like “Going Home” and “I’m Leaving the Table” will also be performed. This does not create an ordinary cover show, but rather a musical journey through different phases of a unique artist's work.
Music, poems, and personal insights
The live atmosphere is enhanced by a predominantly German-speaking supporting program. Poems, biographical excerpts, interview fragments, small anecdotes, and other surprises connect the songs into a narrative concert experience. The direction of the evening is not taken by an orchestra, but by the dramaturgy of voice, word, acoustics, and audience mood.
An evening for Cohen fans and curious first-time listeners
The event is aimed at long-time Leonard Cohen enthusiasts as well as new fans and people who want to consciously discover his music for the first time. Between folk, chanson, singer-songwriter music, and poetic stage performance, an evening filled with closeness, fine musical transitions, and emotional depth is created.
Conclusion
“I Love To Speak With Leonard” brings Leonard Cohen's songs and thoughts to the stage of the Rüngsdorfer Kulturbad in a personal, intimate form. Those who want to not only hear Cohen's music but also experience its stories, images, and subtle tensions live should not miss this tribute evening in Bonn.
