Tehorah which means "pure" in Hebrew, is a heartbreaking, promising musical journey about hope, love and forgiveness.
First performed at New York's prestigious Carnegie Hall in 2015 with a follow up performance in the same venue in 2023 under patronage of the German and Israeli Ambassadors to the United Nations in New York, Chanteuse Internationale Adrienne Haan has performed Tehorah all around the world. Some prestigious venues and festival include: Ravina in Chicago, the Teatr Novi in Łódź, the Jewish Festival in Warsaw, the White Synagogue in Wrocław, and the philharmonic orchestra in Łomża, Poland.
On January 27th, 2020 Adrienne performed this concert in collaboration with MemoShoah Luxembourg and the “International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance” at the theater in Esch/Alzette, Luxembourg. In Germany, the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra and the Württemberg Philharmonics featured Tehorah during "1700 Years of Jewish Life in German Speaking Lands" in 2021. There it was also featured at the Jewish Culture Days in Berlin and the Achava Jewish Festival in Weimar.
In 2021 Tehorah was performed in Toronto, Canada during “Liberation 75” and with the Orquesta Sinfónica de la Ciudad de Asunción, Paraguay and on Holocaust Remembrance Day 2025 at the Holocaust Center in Cape Town.
Written, directed and performed by Chanteuse Internationale Adrienne Haan, featuring her accompanist and music director of 24 years, Richard Danley, the soirée contains German, English, Yiddish and Hebrew songs that were composed and written exclusively by Jewish composers and librettists. Tehorah is a historical-poetic portrait that commences in the lascivious post World War I night clubs of 1920s Weimar Berlin, the birthplace of cabaret, before the Nazis marched in and closed the curtain of Berlin's Golden Age forever. The journey continues to the ghetto of Litzmannstadt (Łódź) with heart-wrenching songs in Yiddish all the way to the Promised Land with some of the most beautiful oeuvres ever written in Hebrew.
Approximate running time is 90 minutes without an intermission.
This is a peace concert in turbulent times for all ages and denominations, coming together at the beautiful and modern synagogue in the Wood River Valley.
This concert serves as a fundraiser for the Laughing Stock Theater Company.
When: Tuesday, June 30, 7.30 pm, doors open at 7 pm
