Music of Cole Porter to be featured
at Brockport’s Winter Serenades

The Village of Brockport’s third Winter Serenade is Sunday, March 5 at 3 p.m. Join fellow music lovers at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, corner Main and State Streets, for this special performance. It will be a family friendly, no tickets needed, “all Cole Porter music” afternoon. Stay after to chat with friends and the performers upstairs in the Gathering Room.

Cole Porter was probably the least ambitious of all the major songwriters. He knew what he was good at and he stuck with it – throbbing ballads and comic catalogue songs. Join Michael Lasser, Jessica Ann Best, and Alan Jones for an hour of songs many will remember – and also a few that might be new to you. All of them memorable; all with informative background stories provided by Public Radio’s award-winning Lasser, who produced and hosted his show, Fascinatin’ Rhythm, for over 40 years.

Best performs nationwide in opera, musical theater, jazz, concert, oratorio, and recital. Jones is a singer and piano player who performs a wide variety of repertoire, from cabaret to classical.

The entire program can also be found on the YouTube section of the https://stlukesbrockport.org website, live-streamed and saved for later viewing. Information is available at 585-637-5300 and https://www.brockportny.org.

The Winter and Summer Serenades series is run by volunteers and supported financially by local individuals and businesses; the Village of Brockport provides in-kind support.
