Montreal High Lights Festival Warms Up Winter With Taste of Portugal

By Nelson Wyatt, THE CANADIAN PRESS

Dates: Feb. 18 to 28

MONTREAL - Flamenco guitars and mariachi music aren't the first things that occur to people when they think of Montreal in February.

But keep your ear cocked to the Montreal High Lights Festival, which begins its 11th edition on Feb. 18, and you could be surprised.

Conceived as a way to draw tourists to the city in the frigid months the way Quebec City does with its Carnival and Ottawa does with Winterlude, the High Lights Festival comes from the monolith that organizes Montreal's International Jazz Festival and several other events.

Where many festivals boast about offering something for everyone, the High Lights organizers can be comfortable making the claim, presenting music, theatre, dance, art, circus and fine cuisine.

"That was the main point about the Montreal High Lights Festival," says Laurent Saulnier, the event's programming vice-president. "It's not the jazz fest, it's not Francofolies, it's not dedicated to one kind of music or one genre of music. It's really wide open."

Saulnier says one of the difficulties in programming an event like High Lights is that not many artists tour in northeastern North America in February.

But that also gives the festival a little exclusivity in that it gives people a unique chance to see a lot of the acts, who will come to Montreal, play and go home.

"That's a part of it that is really, really, really special," he said.

The 11th edition is the biggest so far, Saulnier says. It comprises two sections - the performing arts series and the wine and dine experience.

Each year a particular country, city and region are showcased, and this year it's Portugal, New Orleans and Quebec's Eastern Townships.

In the fine dining section, chefs from other countries come and work with Quebec cooks to create culinary masterpieces.

It's an experience that tickles the event's spokesman, Jean-Francois Demers, who has 30 years in the food and drink industry.

"You know how a chef is in his own kitchen," he says. "It's like a lion in a cage. Nobody usually ever puts a toe in a kitchen of a restaurant. Then you're going to have two lions in a cage, which will be outstanding!"

Don't expect to hear the clang of clashing cutlery, though. Demers says the chefs are eager to collaborate.

"They are excited. They just can't wait to come to Montreal. All the chefs are talking together, trying to find the good produce, the good spices, a good this and a good that. . . ."

Organizers have priced festival events in the reasonable range for the most part. Concerts begin around $17. In the food section, the lowest price is $12.95 for a three-course lunch offered by nine participating restaurants.

Demers said the priciest events are likely the dinners by honorary president Fausto Airoldi, featuring some of Portugal's best wines along with the fine food.

There will be free admission to the Crossroads of Flavour, where downtown Complexe Desjardins will be transformed into a huge market, and the Festival of Quebec Cheeses at the same venue.

A culinary competition will include four finalist chefs concocting original recipes using local cheeses. Diners will decide which chef wins the $5,000 prize.

"It will be a kind of blind taste test," Demers said. "People will not know which recipe is from which chef."

Besides all the innovation that will be sparked in the kitchen, organizers say visitors to the festival will find a lot to discover on the performing arts side as well.

A number of acts such as singers Martine St-Clair, Elisapie Isaac and Andrea Lindsay will be premiering new work, as will internationally acclaimed cellist Jorane.

Montreal's Les 7 doigts de la main circus troupe will also unveil its new show, and the festival will open with Quebecer Dominic Champagne's multimedia "Paradise Lost," about the last man on Earth.

Saulnier said the Portugal focus will introduce a number of acts from that country to Canadians, adding that organizers are excited to present Misia, billed as the queen of contemporary fado.

He also said he is anxious to see the double bill starring Virginia Rodrigues and the Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club. Another can't-miss outing, he adds, is a performance by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Montreal native Yannick Nezet-Sequin.

"The orchestra is not touring a lot," Saulnier pointed out.

And for those interested in taking in some visual art from a Montreal icon, the festival will host an exhibition of sketches by singer-songwriter-poet Leonard Cohen.

Saulnier said Cohen's son Adam will be on hand for the show, although it's doubtful his famous father will attend.

Cohen might not be too big on Montreal in February, despite the festival's best efforts to heat things up, Saulnier said.

"We're trying," he said with a laugh. "But maybe (it's) not enough for Mr. Cohen."

Leonard Cohen Artworks

By Bernard Perusse, The Gazette
February 5, 2010

Adam Cohen is fully aware that struggling visual artists will resent the interest Leonard Cohen’s artwork will automatically bring when some of it goes on display here in less than two weeks.

He even understands those who will instinctively grumble about his father’s sketches and drawings.

“There are many artists out there who might (say), ‘What will he do next? An exhibition of pottery? Who else is he going to put out of business or compete with?’ ” Cohen said during a recent interview. “(But) what’s so infuriating to the rest of us is his ability to leave this distinct imprint and a command of yet another voice.”

Leonard Cohen Artworks will launch Feb. 18 and remain on display throughout the High Lights Festival and beyond, ending only May 9. Its four original pieces and 51 prints show impressions set to paper by the poet and singer-songwriter between, by Adam Cohen’s estimate, 1961 and 2004.

The younger Cohen said the subject matter ranges “from the mundane to the sublime – from candlesticks on a table and a guitar in the corner of a room to the exquisite form of a woman he had the luck to have sit for him.”

The exhibition mostly features limited-edition prints, signed and numbered, and produced by a high-end print business owned by Graham Nash. The collection has so far been shown in Vancouver, Toronto and London, England.

There’s plenty of precedent for popular performers dabbling in the finer arts: Tony Bennett, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney and Ronnie Wood are among those who occasionally moonlight with brushes and ink.

“If you’re good, you’re good, and maybe you can extend your goodness to another field,” Adam Cohen said, likening the naysayers to player haters.

His memories of his father drawing go back to childhood, and “the poor old guy trying to contend with two very young children and distract us on a rainy day. We’d break out the crayons at the kitchen table. It was part of a Cohen family ritual,” he said.

“Being a father myself now, I realize it’s far from a unique endeavour, but he had a gift and passion and interest,” he said. “There are some images (in the exhibition) I’ve seen my whole life – so not only are they dear to me because they’re my father’s work and I love what he does, but they’re dear to me because they’re family heirlooms – they’re artifacts of my little past.”

Leonard Cohen never fancied himself as a visual artist, his son said. “Yet somehow, his work has an inimitable power, something with which artists, historically, have struggled: it resembles him,” he said. “That’s the thing we should all aspire to: that our work resemble us, bear a resemblance to our aesthetic traits and be a truthful representation of our ideal of beauty and our capacity.”

Adam Cohen, a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter in his own right, said that unlike his sister, Lorca, and his mother, Suzanne Elrod (apparently not that one), he “has no skill whatsoever” in drawing or painting. But his new album, due out in three or four months, seems to show his lineage in a more conventional way, he suggested.

“It’s my proudest achievement yet, and it finally bears a resemblance to my father – who I spent my life trying not to sound like,” he said. “But as a result of the birth of my son, which is connected to my family in a beautiful way, and (my father’s) resurgence, I finally had the courage to make a record that dignifies my last name.”

And from either angle – sketchpad or studio – Adam Cohen is clear on “the most important thing I learned from my old man.”

“He always said that just when you want to give up, and you’ve put break-back hours into a song, that’s when you should consider the work having commenced. That’s when you should consider your job having actually started,” he said. “My father said it’s in that exhaustion and sense of hopelessness on the doorstep of defeat that – if you can actually pass that threshold – you get to the good stuff.

“To me, that demonstrates a tenacity, a belief in self, a dedication and a discipline that is awe-inspiring,” he said, “and that has produced some of the most beautiful songs and poems ever written.”

Leonard Cohen Artworks will be on display at the TD Lounge at the Maison du Festival Rio Tinto Alcan, 305 Ste. Catherine St. W., from Feb. 18 to May 9. Admission is free.

Just to make clear, the High Lights Festival runs Feb. 19-28, but Leonard's artwork will be on display through till May 9. Thought I'd point it out as I was happy to read that the exhibition will be shown beyond the run of the festival. I wouldn't have been able to make it otherwise.

Sketches by Leonard Cohen exhibited at Montreal High Lights Festival
Published Thursday February 18th, 2010
Nelson Wyatt, THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL - Every so often, when Leonard Cohen wanted a break from finding just the right word while writing, he'd turn his pen to his notebook and sketch.

Image
THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO
A sketch by singer Leonard Cohen is shown in a handout photo. For Cohen, doodling and drawing
was often a way to take a break from writing or have fun with his kids, his son says.

"The drawings are just something he's done his whole life to interrupt the actual process of writing - a way to do something when you're not writing the next line or the perfect rhyme but you still have a pen in your hand and a paper in front of you," says his son Adam.

Now these drawings have come home to Montreal and are being shown from Feb. 18 to May 9 in a free exhibit titled "The Leonard Cohen Artworks" at the Montreal High Lights Festival.

Three of the drawings are original works by Leonard Cohen, and they are displayed alongside some 50 high-quality numbered reproductions. The works are on sale for about $1,500 to $6,000.

Adam Cohen, who is acting as spokesman for the exhibit, said drawing was always a favourite activity around the poet-novelist-singer-songwriter's home.

"One of my earliest memories of any rainy day is of us waking up and if we couldn't play outside we'd all (in the family) draw . . . at the kitchen table," the L.A.-based Adam Cohen, 37, recalled in a telephone interview.

"He'd break out the crayons and we'd sketch and draw and share images with each other," he said of his father.

"I'd often find the drawings that are now exhibited today, 30 years later, in his notebooks or laying around the house. He refers to them as his doodles."

The sketches have various subjects, although they tend toward self-portraits with wry comments written on them, studies of women, and various objects such as furniture and glasses.

"It's nice because these are actually people that I've known, places that I've been, chairs that I've sat on, smoked my first cigarette in, kissed the first girl in that chair, the guitar I've picked up, glasses I've tried on in the mirror," Cohen said.

"It had a particularly touching quality to me to actually see all of these images in one place, especially this particular exhibition in Montreal where all the pieces are hanging and the light from a Montreal street comes in and illuminates them.

"There's a feeling that these images belong in Montreal and belong to Montreal," said Cohen, whose 75-year-old father grew up in the city and still visits regularly.

But Cohen stressed that his father isn't seeking to be recognized as a visual artist along with all his other talents.

Leonard Cohen even says in the welcoming message for the show: "I call my work acceptable decorations."

That's an example of his father's "paranormal humility," Adam Cohen said.

"It really did take endless prodding and insistence for him to finally allow these drawings to be exhibited," Cohen said of the show, which has already been seen in several other cities but never before in Montreal.

Cohen said his father is a huge fan of French artist Henri Matisse, and his artwork has been compared to that of surrealist Jean Cocteau.

"My sister and I would try and correct him when he was doing self-portraits, saying 'Dad, you don't look anything like that,' " Adam Cohen recalled with a chuckle. They'd tell him: " 'Why are you drawing your nose so crooked? Your eyes are bigger.' "

"Of course, now I understand that this was something called 'style.' "

Cohen said he doesn't know why his father chose to sketch, other than he found it an enjoyable way to pass the time.

"The only thing that he's ever explained to me was that he got a great amount of joy out of the meditative quality of doing a self-portrait every morning while he was in this little hotel in Bombay visiting a friend," he said.

"It was a way of chronicling his mood," he added. "(It) was a self-effacing exercise and that was satisfying to him."

Adam Cohen is a singer-songwriter in his own right with a new album in the works. He said the disc, titled "Like a Man," somewhat resembles his father's celebrated work in the 1960s and 1970s.

While he said he was never really inclined to create music similar to his father's, that changed after he had a son himself.

"I felt I had a calling and I felt like I had the courage," he said.

But Adam Cohen, like his dad, stressed he's not a visual artist.

"My sister is quite good at it, my mother is an excellent painter," he said. "It skipped me."

Leonard Cohen's 'Artworks'

By Evelyn Reid, About.com Guide
Montreal Arts & Culture

Leonard Cohen Art: Sketches and Words Spanning 40 Years

The female form, still life, a solitary bird and self-portraits with faces sometimes tortured, other times not, Leonard Cohen had been drawing for decades with the bulk of public applause in response to his words and songs more so than his sketches. He first exhibited his work in Toronto in 2007. Since then, his Artworks traveled to Vancouver and London, England, finally reaching Montreal, his hometown, in 2010.

Below are a few samples of Leonard Cohen's Artworks, a collection of four originals and 51 prints, all on display for public viewing free of charge, from February 18 through May 9, 2010 at the Maison du Festival Rio Tinto Alcan.

A limited number of reprints are available for purchase.

Beautiful artwork, beautiful use of one of the foundations of the bible and very beautiful is the connection of LC with this phrase.

It says in Hebrew:
La’el Baruch ne’yimot Yitenu = to the blessed God melodies thy shall give
(old Hebrew phrasing:: one shall give it's voice in song, hence the use of the word give).

This phrase is part of the “Shema” prayer service. The opening segment of the prayer is called “blessing of the creator’, ‘La’el Baruch ne’yimot Yitenu’ opens a paragraph of praising god, as creator of all the marvelous things existing in the universe, god as a power almighty.

Tiny bit about Shema:
In Hebrew: Shma Israel, Adonai Eloheno Adonay echad.
it’s considered to be the most important part of the prayer service in Judaism, as it encapsulates the monotheistic essence of Judaism: "Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one [Deuteronomy 6:4]
The full phrase is verses 4-7: Hear, O Israel: The lord is our God, the lord is one. You shall love the lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words that I am commanding you today shall be in your heart. And you shall teach them diligently to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Deuteronomy 6:4-7

Hope this helps (there's abundance of info that can be written about this..)
Thanks Arlene, for referring my attention to this one.

Wow thank you, Sharon (and Arlene for pointing it out) for your thorough response. If you wouldn't mind pointing the way the additional info you mention, I'd appreciate it.

What I love about these Deuteronomy verses is the uncompromising commitment they call for - no room for the lukewarm. Then again, I can see how attempting to follow them can drive a person insane. I mean how is "You shall love the lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might" even humanly possible?

This definitely gives new insight and layers to the drawing. Thanks again.
