I last saw Adrienne in May when our paths crossed at the Toronto centre city airport. Our conversation moved to a subject of mutual interest: our daughters. Ì¢âÂÒHow lucky are we,Ì¢âÂå Adrienne said, acknowledging not their accomplishments but their passion for life and their engagement in the things that mattered to them.
Adrienne could have graced the most famous stages of the world as a diva of popular music. But she chose instead to devote herself to what mattered to her: Yiddishkiet and Yiddish song. AdrienneÌ¢âÂã¢s greatest talent was not in her virtuosity, which was unmatched, but in her unique ability to connect with her audience. Unfailingly delighted by her performances, I was transported to another time, another place, another dimension.
