Chanteuse Internationale Adrienne Haan presents Tehorah, proudly hosted by the South African Jewish Museum on Sunday 26 January 2025 at 6pm.
Tehorah, which means pure in Hebrew, is a poetic musical portrait about love, loss, hope and forgiveness. This one-woman tour-deforce contains German, Yiddish and Hebrew songs, composed and written exclusively by Jewish composers and lyricists. Tehorah is a musical journey through the turbulent times of the Weimar Republic to the Łódź Ghetto all the way to Israel.
First performed at Carnegie Hall in 2015 with an encore performance at the same venue in 2023 celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel under patronage of the German and Israeli Ambassadors to the United Nations and Rabbi Arthur Schneier of Park East Synagogue in NYC, Chanteuse Internationale Adrienne Haan is proud to premiere Tehorah in the Old Shul at the South African Jewish Museum in Cape Town, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust.
Written and directed by Adrienne Haan
In collaboration with the South African Jewish Museum, the Cape Town Holocaust and Genocide Centre and CT Concert Series. Under patronage of the German Consulate General in Cape Town.
