Hineni – Aya Korem and the Revolution Orchestra Sing Leonard Cohen

A feminine, personal, and local interpretation of the legendary Jewish-Canadian creator

What happens when words that have become secular prayers around the world land on the desk of one of Israel’s most fascinating creators? The Revolution Orchestra and Aya Korem invite you to delve into Leonard Cohen’s body of work in a new show that translates the classics that shaped generations into “Israeli.” In an artistic dialogue based on a shared love of Cohen, Korem and the orchestra give the texts and melodies a bold new Hebrew form. The exposed words meet the orchestra in a stage format that moves between the intimacy of the writing room and the total power of the concert stage. A mesmerizing musical journey between the sacred and the secular, between Tel Aviv and Montreal, reminding us why these works remain timeless.
