Inspired by Leonard Cohen’s work The Great Event, PEV has put together a virtual concert program of hopeful, thoughtful works that will be performed LIVE. The Great Event experience includes the world premiere of a special music video and a post-concert Q&A/reception with the artists.

Cohen’s lyrics for The Great Event provide our blueprint:

 It's going to happen very soon
The great event, which will end the horror
Which will end the sorrow
Next Tuesday when the sun goes down

I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards
This will reverse the effects of the world's mad plunge
Into suffering, for the last 200 million years

What a lovely night that would be
What a sigh of relief
As the senile robins
Become bright red again
And the retired nightingales
Pick up their dusty tails
And assert the Majesty of Creation

Join us on the vernal equinox for this online presentation of live and recorded works designed to help us all rediscover our equilibrium and bring balance, justice and hope for the future.
