Yiddish singer Adrienne Cooper and jazz pianist Marilyn Lerner have come together to create an electrifying collaboration. Cooper’s soulful and idiomatic interpretations have made her a leading light in the Yiddish revival. A powerful and generous performer, she effortlessly works English translation into her lyrics. Lerner is best known for her creative improvisations but her work spans the worlds of jazz, klezmer and 20th century classical music. Together they breathe fresh life into traditional rhythms and rhymes. Following a concert set, Cooper and Lerner will open up the floor for a guided jam and sing!

With a focus on Yiddish culture and folk music with a social conscience, the Circle Coffeehouse features local artists and well-known national performers in an intimate setting. The Boston Workmen’s Circle is a secular, progressive, Jewish community and cultural center that combines Jewish culture with a commitment to social and economic justice.
