<p>One of the twentieth century's great composers, Cole Porter lived a highly privileged life, peppered with insecurity and ultimately tragedy. Over the course of his life he composed over one thousand songs, some of the most beautiful and sophisticated music of the last century. In the Panthéon of "<a href="https://thesongbook.org/">The Great American Songbook</a>," few other writers matched the beauty of his music or the wit, sophistication, and charm of his oeuvre. In this presentation we will explore his life and how he created this great output (with a surprise or two along the way).</p>
