The jazzy blues sounds of George Gershwin and Cole Porter will echo through the Gendron Franco Center’s performance hall Saturday, May 19, at 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday, May 20, at 3 p.m. when the Maine Music Society Chorale presents “Favorites from the Great American Songbook.” These songs written for musical theater and movies between the 1920s and 1950s are characterized by witty lyrics and delightfully surprising rhymes.
