Adrienne Cooper was an incredible performer. In her rendition of Yiddish song, one could not only hear a melodious voice but one could actually hear the joy, the pathos, the pain and a whole range of deeply felt emotion. Adrienne Cooper was also a profound thinker, highly intelligent, her profound understanding of the lyrics came through in her song. In the brief time I knew her, I could discern that Adrienne was not only a gifted singer, a gifted instructor but also a total mensch. May her memory be ever blessed.
