About this event

The Essential Cole Porter Songbook

Stella Bass, vocals
Niall Kinsella, piano

“He was the wittiest of all the great American pop composers.”
– Washington Post on Cole Porter

One of the 20^th Century’s songwriting geniuses, Cole Porter was the toast of Broadway and Hollywood. Composer of the hit musicals Anything Goes, Kiss Me, Kate, Can-Can, Silk Stockings and High Society, he epitomised the wit, charm, elegance and sophistication of an era. Singer Stella Bass and pianist Niall Kinsella invite you to sit back and revel in a lunchtime of song that’s guaranteed to be de-lightful, de-licious, de-lovely!

Acclaimed Irish jazz vocalist Stella Bass is a regular performer at the National Concert Hall, and has headlined several times at the Cork Jazz Festival, earning praise for her interpretations of the Great American Songbook. Irish conductor and pianist Niall Kinsella is no stranger to NCH audiences through his sold-out concerts of Golden Age Hollywood and Broadway musicals with orchestras.
