Adrienne Cooper z"l

 The untimely death of Adrienne Cooper, Yiddish diva and mentor to generations of Yiddish singers, has left the Yiddish world grieving. Her incomparable musicianship, warm stage presence, intelligent and imaginative performances, and support of Yiddish songwriters and other artists will be greatly missed. Adrienne appeared at the Book Center many times, was a board member from 1994-1997, and was interviewed a year ago at KlezKamp for our Oral History Project.
