CoA Coffeehouse: Let’s Misbehave: The Songs of Cole Porter
Thursday, May 15th
7:00 - 8:30 PM
Jazzy songstress Renee Tannenbaum presents a glorious tribute to one of the great American songwriters of the early 20th century, Cole Porter. His sophisticated, sexy, and timeless songs are iconic: “Night and Day,” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “You’re the Top,” and so many more.
Singing jazz standards in four languages, Renee has performed at D.C.’s best venues, including the legendary Blues Alley, Mr. Henry’s, the National Press Club, as well as at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Gallery of Art’s Jazz in the Garden concert series.
But first, let’s eat:
Heavy hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and wine precede the concert.
Join us for an enchanting and ‘delicious’ evening!
