Cole Porter – Risque Master Of American Music

July 9, 2021 @ 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

$10.00

Public Speaking Presentation On Cole PorterCole Porter is one of the greatest songwriters in American history. His melodies were sublime. His lyrics were creative, witty, sophisticated, original, and naughty. Cole Porter was the ultimate European-oriented sophisticate – yet he was born in tiny Peru, Indiana!

Porter’s list of songs includes some of the most incredible entries in the great American Songbook!  Consider:

LET’S DO IT (LET’S FALL IN LOVE) (1928)

NIGHT AND DAY (1932)

ANYTHING GOES (1934)

DON’T FENCE ME IN (1934)Public Speaking Presentation On Cole Porter

I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU (1934)

BEGIN THE BEGUINE (1935)

I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN (1936)

IT’S DE-LOVELY (1936)

Porter’s legacy was further assured by brilliant Broadway shows like “Kiss Me Kate” and “Can-Can.” But beneath the surface of this bon-vivant lay a tortured soul. Cole Porter lived in both psychic and physical pain much of his life. His life story, his personality, and his unforgettable music combine for a memorable multimedia presentation!
