Adrienne’s Solo Performances
“Torf succeeds in communicating her love of music… and in pulling us into it with her.”
Tatiana Schreiber, GCN
“Adrienne is an incredible pianist.”
Holly Near
“Torf’s delicately skilled touch blended perfectly, no matter what the style…[In] the evening show-stopper, “Hay Una Mujer”… Torf performed an amazing, complex arrangement of the tune [which] brilliantly and eloquently conveyed the horror and loss.”
S.L. Guthrie, Anchorage Daily News
“Adrienne Torf is a true musician. Her compositions go beyond the frame of jazz and the classics to create a free and unique world. Yet, she maintains a dignity essential in music… [Her music] is colorful, mysterious and profound.”

Adrienne with Voices of the Revolution
“This morning [after the performance by Adrienne Torf and Voices of the Revolution] I can yet hear the applause in my body. I can see the poetry of June Jordan in me and in every woman. It was EARTH SHIFT! …All those words in one place, on one stage with the piano of Adrienne Torf laying the substrate from which the Voices of the Revolution bolted up like lightning, growing from a fire field.”
Semaj Brown, Poet Laureate of Flint, MI
Poetry for the People The June Jordan Experience
“Such a moving, unique, theatrical experience… I love opportunities like this where we get to really redefine what theater can in fact be, and when we reintegrate the community aspect that is so important… Go and have a really wonderful human experience; you will not be sorry.”
Bob Barth, WFMU radio
