The concert title ‘Under the Pale of Mist’ is taken from the hauntingly beautiful poem ‘There are some men’ by Leonard Cohen. The famed Canadian poet’s near-existentialist words form the inspirational backbone of this programme.

There are some men
who should have mountains
to bear their names to time.

Grave markers are not high enough
or green,
and sons go far away
to lose the fist
their father’s hand will always seem.

I had a friend:
he lived and died in mighty silence
and with dignity,
left no book son or lover to mourn.

Nor is this a mourning-song
but only a naming of this mountain
on which I walk,
fragrant, dark and softly white
under the pale of mist.
I name this mountain after him.
