About this event

Event lasts 2 hours

In the late 80's local Austin musician Stephen Zirkel, toured the world with poet songwriter Leonard Cohen.

Stephen passed away just this last August, and we've turned this into a living tribute to him.

We'll feature Zirkel's songs & stories from the L. Cohen road with piano, cello, violin and surprise special guest vocalists.

Join us to indulge in the mesmerizing allure of live acoustic music performed by world-class musicians, surrounded by the warm glow of candlelight.

Its a different kind of concert, that begins and ends in darkness, with music and a poem or two surrounding and soothing you.

 Are children welcome?

Kids are welcome! Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Please keep in mind that this is an event where the focus is on the music, and might include meditation. So we value peace and an environment of non-disruption for all that are paying to have this experience. This isn't a club atmosphere where there is talking over the music. That being so, we do have a separate area where you can take the kids if they or you need a break.
