Conspiracy of Beards @ Bands at Brower – 10/9/15

October 9, 2015 @ 7:00 pm

The Bands at Brower gallery music series continues this fall with San Francisco’s Conspiracy of Beards, a 30-member male choir that performs dynamic, original, acappella arrangements of the poetic songs of Leonard Cohen.

Well dressed in suits, ties, and the occasional fedora, the choir brings an energized live choral music experience out of churches and tabernacles and into the taverns, art houses, and theaters of the Bay Area and beyond. Transforming Cohen’s lyrics and simple melodies into complex 4- and 5-part harmonies, and with a wide variety of small ensemble and full choir pieces, Conspiracy of Beards achieves a sound that is both robust and tender, exposing the emotion and comedy behind Cohen’s words.

Beer, wine, and specialty cocktails will be available.
