Songbook Sundays: Cole Porter

About

Deborah Grace Winer’s bi-monthly series continues with a celebration of Cole Porter, a songwriter whose wit, elegance, and melodic brilliance helped shape the American songbook. From Tin Pan Alley to Broadway and Hollywood, Porter’s songs became jazz standards embraced by generations of artists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennett, and they remain endlessly alive in performance. Pianist Ted Firth leads a stellar ensemble featuring vocalists Karrin Allyson, Aisha de Haas, and Declan Cashman, bringing these timeless songs to the Dizzy’s stage with warmth, swing, and style. Support for Songbook Sundays is provided by Howard and Eleanor Morgan.
