Field Commander C. - The Songs of Leonard Cohen

In the organizer's words:

FIELD COMMANDER C. is a tribute to the great Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. On January 23, the ten-piece band will play classics such as "Suzanne", "Sisters Of Mercy", "So Long Marianne" and "Famous Blue Raincoat" with impressive virtuosity and unstoppable enthusiasm at the Liederhalle in Stuttgart.

The idea for FIELD COMMANDER C. was born shortly after Leonard Cohen's death at the end of 2016, inspired by the live album "Field Commander Cohen: Tour of 1979". The project is spearheaded by musician and film producer Rolf Ableiter, who performs Cohen's mostly melancholic timbres in an authentic and unique way.

The nine musicians in the band also touch the audience with their rousing style when they interpret the songs in the spirit of their time of origin. Rolf Ableiter was keen to play with the same line-up as Cohen did on his 1979 tour. However, Ableiter and his fellow musicians do not reduce Cohen to his music alone. This concert evening is also a short excursion into the world of his beautiful lyrics, poems and thoughts. FIELD COMMANDER C. resurrects Leonard Cohen for great moments and sends its visitors on a unique journey through time
