Join BBC Proms regular, vocalist Matt Ford, and step back into a world of wit, romance, and timeless sophistication as he celebrates the genius of Cole Porter — the composer who gave us “Anything Goes,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” and “Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love).”
Matt is joined by a world-class group of musicians to bring to life Porter’s irresistible music. From Broadway Musicals through to Hollywood classics, this is your chance to rediscover the sparkle, humour, and heart of one of the 20th Century’s greatest composers and songwriters.
'Ford shares with Sinatra a gift for timing and thoughtful phrasing which adds new colours to the songs and gives them a freshness’ - The Times
‘One of the finest voices this country has produced’ - Clare Teal
‘Matt Ford is the archetypal crooner’ - Mail on Sunday
