Celebrating Cole Porter

Cole Porter (1891-1964) had a connection to Provincetown where he reportedly maintained a retreat on Winslow Street from the late 1920s to the 1940s, making it a significant part of his life and artistic history. Many of his popular hits will be performed by local singers with saxophonists Ken Field and Dave Wilson and ensemble. The program will be introduced by Ira Wood, host of WOMR’s The Lowdown.

Charles Coe Poetry Tribute
August 29, Saturday at 7pm
Poetry by the late Charles Coe (1952-2025) will be read by Massachusetts’s celebrated Poet Laureate Regie Gibson and noted Cape Cod poets and personalities. Coe’s poems speak to the heart and mind as well as the ear. Above all, his poems touch upon what is essential in us all and speak of life as a gift that is far from perfect but all we have. Coe and his writing are known to many on the outer Cape from the acclaimed project A Symphony of Crickets.
